"This arrangement eliminates the need for a six-month or year-long lease," said Steve Hallsey, president and CEO of AMLI Management Company. "It's an ideal option for those on extended stay due to relocation, corporate or government work assignments.  Now we're even more competitive, and reaching a market we normally wouldn't be able to capture."

The partnership allows AMLI to tap into ExecuStay's extensive global and electronic distribution systems, and extends AMLI's market reach with access to ExecuStay's global sales and marketing channels.  The joint venture also leverages the similar corporate cultures of both organizations including a focus on green building designations.

"This is a win-win relationship for everyone," said Adam Sherer, Marriott ExecuStay vice president.  "For ExecuStay... we have even more apartments to offer our customers needing upscale residential lodging through AMLI's first-class portfolio.  AMLI benefits from ExecuStay's distribution channels and dedicated marketing and the guest gets a worry-free, short-term living experience in a beautiful apartment in a fabulous location."

The addition of the AMLI portfolio means ExecuStay has furnished apartments in more than 700 buildings across 325 U.S. cities.  For a full list of AMLI properties visit ExecuStay.com/AMLI.
