We develop what we operate.

Every McKnight community starts as raw ground and a long-term vision. Because we own and run what we build, we develop for decades of performance — not a quick sale.

From site selection and entitlements through design and delivery, our development team has created more than 1.4 million square feet of senior living and multifamily real estate across St. Louis — and we're still building.

Site Selection

We identify well-located sites in established, high-demand corridors — places people genuinely want to live.

Design & Entitlement

We lead planning, design, and approvals — shaping each community around how people actually live.

Build & Deliver

Our in-house construction company, GateCo, builds it — on schedule, on budget, to an owner's standard.

In Development

Our newest community.
