Mireles named president at HSL
Omar Mireles has been named president of HSL Properties Inc., replacing co-founder Humberto S. Lopez who will remain chairman of the company’s board.
Mireles joined HSL as executive vice president in 2003. He has managed a property portfolio worth more than $800 million, including 41 apartment complexes with more than 10,000 units across Arizona. The change was effective Tuesday, Lopez’s 70th birthday, the company said. Lopez, Mireles’ uncle, has led the company since 1975.
Originally from Nogales, Mireles spent much of his childhood in Tucson and graduated from Salpointe Catholic High School before heading to Cornell University in New York to study policy analysis of consumer economics and housing.
He worked as an analyst with Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette in New York, which merged with Credit Suisse First Boston, before returning to Tucson to join HSL.
