Ground-Up Construction
New communities built from the foundation up, managed end to end by our own team.
GateCo is McKnight Group's in-house construction company. The same team that designs and develops our communities builds them — and stands behind the work for the long run.
For decades, GateCo has self-performed the development, construction, and renovation of the Gatesworth Communities and beyond — delivering over $150 million in projects across independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and multifamily. Because we build what we own, quality and accountability are never outsourced.
New communities built from the foundation up, managed end to end by our own team.
Continually reinvesting in our properties — refreshing residences, dining, and common spaces.
Custom build-outs and unit improvements completed cleanly in occupied communities.
Large-scale expansions and capital improvements, delivered on schedule and on budget.
Why GateCo
Most developers hire a contractor and move on. We don't. GateCo is part of McKnight Group, so the people building a community are the same people who will own and operate it for decades.
That alignment shows up in the details — durable materials, thoughtful construction sequencing in occupied buildings, and a long-standing network of trusted local trade partners who hold our standard.
