Marquette’s culture has often been called the most unique in the field of property management. Marquette’s three partners researched many of the most successful business organizations as they formed Marquette. In so doing they created a company whose culture embodies the very best of the following four companies.

From the McDonald’s Corporation they saw the benefit of systems as a means of ensuring a consistently high level of uniformity and quality control on their properties. Marquette now uses twenty five (25) systems to create a brand-like quality on its more than 9,000 apartments which operate with a franchise mentality.

From Southwest Airlines they realized the importance of taking fun very seriously, operating efficiently and leading the market with new innovations. Marquette’s relaxed family like atmosphere places a high premium on having fun with customers and employees, encourages social interaction, rewards teamwork and constantly acknowledges employee contribution. Marquette’s famed Think Tank continues to produce innovations that keep Marquette ahead of the marketplace.

From Nordstrom’s the partners developed an unwavering commitment to delivering legendary customer service at every level of the organization. This led to the development of Marquette’s nationally recognized We C.A.T.E.R. program which provides residents with a host of concierge services typically found in five star hotels. For the past 20 years Marquette has had one mission: to redifine the quality of life for residents, their guests, employees, investors and partners by delivering legendary customer service.

From the Disney Company they have created their own version of the Magical Kingdom on each property with innovative lighting, sound systems, unique design features, after school educational programs and a fun-filled environment where genuine community is fostered between residents and staff members.
