What Highmark Residential does

Highmark Residential is a privately held U.S. multifamily property management company headquartered in Addison, Texas, operating approximately 95,000 units across more than 400 communities in 18 states, supported by eight regional offices and a workforce of 1,001–5,000 employees. The company manages apartment communities on behalf of property owners and real estate investors, handling leasing, maintenance, and resident services, while also generating rental income from operated units including those under its Tucker by Highmark furnished-apartment sub-brand.

The underlying technology stack centers on integrated property management platforms (AppFolio, RentCafe resident portal) layered with Tour24's self-guided touring technology, which was expanded across the portfolio in May 2025 and formally integrated into the AppFolio Stack Marketplace in April 2026. Highmark also offers smart home features (thermostat, key, lighting control) at select communities, package locker systems, an AI-assisted leasing layer supplied by Tour24, and a Highmark Preferred Resident loyalty program accessible via mobile app. Hotel-inspired concierge services are delivered through a partnership with Spruce, and select communities participate in the Airbnb Friendly Building Program.

Revenue is generated through two primary streams: (1) management fees charged to property owners, typically structured as a percentage of rental income collected (managed-services model), and (2) recurring apartment rental income across the portfolio, supplemented by ancillary fees from furnished-unit premiums, renter's insurance, and value-add services such as deposit alternatives and a National Relocation Program spanning 250+ communities. The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer for renters — via corporate website, on-site leasing teams, and digital channels — and direct-to-institution for property owners seeking third-party management across the Southeast, Southwest, Midwest, West, and Mid-Atlantic regions.
