“Paul McKee (developer)”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

Paul McKee, Jr. is a St. Louis, Missouri-area property developer. McKee's property management and development company, M Property Services, formerly McEagle Properties, is based in O'Fallon, Missouri.

McKee grew up in the suburb of Overland, MO and attended Chaminade College Preparatory School.

He is married to Marguerite "Midge" McKee and the two have four children and 15 grandchildren. They live in the suburb of Chesterfield, MO.

McKee's entrepreneurship started with the co-founding of construction firm Paric Corp. in 1979. He is a founding member of the board and former chairman of BJC HealthCare, the area's largest employer. He has donated tens of thousands of dollars to politicians of both political parties. McKee says that he favors neither party particularly strongly, but "follow[s] the business agenda".^[1] McKee was the primary organizer of a bipartisan trade mission to People's Republic of China to stimulate trade between that country and businesses in the region, with a particular focus on using the underutilized Lambert-St. Louis International Airport as a cargo stopover from China to South America.^[2]

Since its inception in 1990, M Property Services has provided development assistance for over 3,600 acres and over 3.5 million square feet of commercial and residential space. Specializing in large-scale, mixed-use developments, M Property Services and its affiliates have owned or developed and sold office buildings, industrial facilities, retail centers and sites throughout the St. Louis metropolitan region and surrounding states.

In addition to his corporate work, McKee is involved in many community and charitable activities which reflect his interest in the community, as well as the health of St. Louis-area residents. McKee is involved in the following organizations: Lewis & Clark Leadership Forum, President Emeritus of Christian Health Services, National Society of Professional Engineers, Missouri Society of Professional Engineers, Former Young Presidents’ Organization and Barat Academy.

Major Developments

Some of McKee's major developments include WingHaven, a {{convert|1200|acre|km2|adj=on}} mixed-use project that is the corporate home to MasterCard Operations Center in O'Fallon, MO; NorthPark, a joint venture with Clayco Realty Group including {{convert|5000000|sqft|m2}} of planned commercial and industrial redevelopment in North St. Louis County that is the corporate home to Express Scripts;^[3] and Hazelwood Commerce Center, a {{convert|151|acre|km2|adj=on}} industrial park in Hazelwood, Missouri.^[4]

McKee's vision for his NorthSide Regeneration development is for a large-scale and holistic transformation of a two-square mile section of North St. Louis City.

With a development plan covering over 1,500 contiguous acres all located less than a mile from Downtown St. Louis, The Gateway Arch and Busch Stadium – and with $390 million TIF approved for public infrastructure improvements – NorthSide Regeneration provides a unique and remarkable opportunity to apply new technologies in health, energy, transportation, housing and education. To date, $107 million in private investments have funded the acquisition of 2,300 individual lots, development planning and the start of site clean-up.

The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) West Headquarters has committed to building a $1.7 billion campus on a 100-acre site within the development that would support 7,200 jobs with an average salary of approximately $95,000.

Additional plans for NorthSide Regeneration include 3 million square feet for offices, 2 million square feet for retail, 1 million square feet for tech, 3,000 market rate residential units and a primary care hospital. Part of the redevelopment project, a ZOOM Convenience Store and GreenLeaf Market, are currently under construction at N. 13th Street near Stan Musial Veterans Memorial Bridge.

Creating jobs is the primary motivator behind the project – with a goal of more than 43,000 construction jobs and 22,000 permanent jobs generated by the development’s activity.
