Founded in 1948 as McKee and McHale,
a heating and air-conditioning contractor, the company was a partnership between brother-in-law, Frank A. McKee and Joseph McHale. Following McHale's death in 1960, Frank A. McKee developed apartments for older tenants, building more than 500 units, which the company still owns and manages. Frank A. McKee became a pioneer in adult 55-plus housing and resolved to dedicate his company to creating communities that combined homes of high quality and great value with a carefree and enjoyable lifestyle.

The McKee Group has been recognized in national media such as Good Morning America and U.S. News and World Report for its innovative work in the field of active adult housing. Since that time, they have welcomed thousands of homeowners to their communities and continue to be a nationally recognized leader in the active adult market today.
