KENNEY PROPERTIES, LLC
ORLANDO, FLORIDA

In the mid 1990’s, while still developing single family neighborhoods, Steve began the transition into the development and ownership of apartment communities. In 1998 Kenney’s company was named the Outstanding Small Business in the Raleigh Wake County region. By 2001 Steve had sold the last of his remaining single family lots and was devoting 100% of his time to the multi-family industry, and created a new property management company, Kenney Realty Services. Since that time Kenney Realty Services and its staff have since garnered numerous awards and honors including being twice named as one of the Triangle Business Journal’s Best Places to Work. In 2008 with the addition of Kenney Development the organization is now vertically integrated, allowing it to control the entire process of developing, building, owning, and operating its apartment communities. The company moved into the field of student housing in the fall of 2003, building projects to serve Western Carolina University in Cullowhee, NC and the University of North Carolina at Pembroke in Pembroke, NC. Since that time the company has expanded its footprint to include South Carolina, Tennessee and Georgia. From the process of selecting appropriate sites, to constructing the apartment buildings, to operating and managing those facilities, The Kenney Companies has positioned itself for continued growth in its quest to be the number one full service multi-family company in the Southeastern United States. In founding Kenney Properties, and later Kenney Realty Services and Kenney Development, Mr. Kenney surpassed his acclaim as a professional athlete and built a lasting legacy. Today, the Kenney Companies control the entire process of developing, building, owning, and operating its apartment communities. 1998 Winner of Pinnacle Award for Outstanding Business in Raleigh & Wake County, NC Named “Tar Heel of the Week” by the Raleigh News and Observer 2006 Congratulations on being honored as Tar Heel of the Week for your commitment to providing quality housing for our college students. Your efforts address the housing shortage needs of our schools and help provide a safe and affordable alternative to dorms. Thank you for your dedication and for sharing your vision. I am pleased to offer a letter of support for The Kenney Companies. Several years ago they came to our community and constructed a student housing project called Catamount Peak. We are pleased with the success of this project since it offers our students another housing choice and provides much needed capacity for our growth. Finally, The Kenney Companies are in the process of endowing a scholarship at Western Carolina University that will benefit the residents of their student housing project. For the past two years, the University of North Carolina at Pembroke has developed an effective working relationship with the Pembroke Pointe Apartment Staff and Kenney Realty Services. The staff has been energetic and dedicated in providing a quality off-campus product to approximately 275 UNCP students. The University looks forward to continuing this vital relationship and cooperation in the years to come. Chair, Spartanburg Co. Commission for Higher Education Steve Kenney and his company are the best kind of developers. He cares about the communities he builds and always lives up to his word.
