North Phoenix is in expansion mode, and The Hillburn arrives right on cue.
Mark-Taylor Residential, alongside Sunbelt Holdings and Rockpoint, is delivering 283 build-to-rent homes in one of the Valley’s fastest-growing pockets, just minutes from the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) site and the Norterra shopping and dining district. The community is purpose-built to meet rising housing demand as new jobs, retail, and lifestyle destinations continue to reshape the area.
Located at 2550 W. North Foothills, The Hillburn is a gated community designed to bridge flexibility and elevated living. The mix includes three-bedroom townhomes ranging from 1,729 to 2,291 square feet, along with two-, three-, and four-bedroom single-family detached homes ranging from 1,323 to 2,338 square feet. It’s a lineup that leans closer to ownership-style living while keeping the ease of renting.
Inside, the homes are designed with both function and finish in mind. Each residence includes an attached two-car garage with EV charging, plus private backyards, covered patios, or front porches. Interiors feature expansive living spaces, oversized kitchen islands, spa-inspired bathrooms, smart-home technology, and premium finishes throughout.
“The Hillburn was designed to capture the incredible scenic views of the Sonoran Desert from residents’ homes, patios and shared community spaces,” says Julie Krentz, associate managing director at Mark-Taylor Residential. “For those seeking a five-star living experience surrounded by Arizona’s natural beauty while maintaining privacy and comfort, The Hillburn offers an ideal setting.”
That five-star feel carries into the community’s shared spaces. A 6,200-square-foot clubhouse anchors the property with a pool, fitness center, golf simulator, and complimentary coffee bar. Beyond that, residents have access to a dog-walking path, park, playground, pickleball court, and basketball court, creating a built-in lifestyle that balances activity and ease.
The bigger story is the power behind the project. Mark-Taylor, a longtime leader in luxury multifamily development, partnered with Scottsdale-based Sunbelt Holdings and Boston-based Rockpoint to bring the community to life. Together, the trio is helping shape what modern rental living looks like in a part of Phoenix that is evolving quickly.
With TSMC fueling job growth and Norterra continuing to expand as a lifestyle hub, The Hillburn is positioned at the center of it all. It reflects a broader shift in how the Valley is building for the future, with rental communities that prioritize space, design, and everyday livability.
