History

For more than 15 years, McGuire Development has established a reputation as a top-performing, full-service commercial real estate firm.

For almost 60 years, since the founding of Frank McGuire’s first company in 1960, the McGuire name has been synonymous with honesty, integrity, and hard work.

In 2006, Jim McGuire launched McGuire Development Company, LLC to diversify the family’s investment portfolio and build on a lifelong appreciation for real estate and construction. While serving as CEO of The McGuire Group, Inc., Jim identified a need for greater transparency and long-term relationship-building in the real estate sector.

Drawing from his early experience as an electrician’s apprentice and carpenter, Jim assembled a team committed to open-book processes, fair negotiations, and joint venture opportunities. This approach fostered a portfolio of commercial assets built on referrals and repeat business—proof that integrity and transparency are not just ideals, but competitive advantages.

McGuire Development’s philosophy is rooted in the McGuire family’s enduring commitment to integrity, transparency, and outstanding customer service. For nearly 60 years, the McGuire name has stood for honesty, hard work, and community investment—values that continue to define the company today.
