Leading the Way to Better Homes

In 2010, long time childhood friends, Bruce McNeilage and Christopher Zachary were enjoying a baseball game when the subject of the affordable housing came to mind. Every day, families were finding themselves without a place to call home, banks were foreclosing on mortgages, and entire communities were feeling the harmful effects of the nation’s housing crisis. It was at that moment, that they decided to form a company to make a difference.

Bruce W. McNeilage, had been an experienced investor in the single-family and multi-family rental real estate business in South Florida, Nashville, and Atlanta. Christopher Zachary had extensive financial expertise developed in several unrelated industries. 

Kinloch Partners was born. A company that started that year with the purchase of just three homes in Atlanta, Georgia, has now grown to be one of the most well respected privately held real estate investment partnerships in the country, providing affordable housing solutions through the new construction, renovation, and offering of high quality, single-family homes in multiple states throughout the Southeastern, United States.

The company focuses exclusively on growing metropolitan areas, such as Nashville, TN, Atlanta, GA, Greenville-Spartanburg, SC, Columbia, SC as well as several other emerging markets.

Kinloch believes that renting a home should never mean having to compromise on quality by providing homes in communities with excellent schools and reasonable proximity to growing employment opportunities. The homes typically feature four and five bedrooms, two-and-a-half bath floorplans, incorporating granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and range from as small as 1700 square feet to as large as 3000 square feet.

The company honors a commitment to integrity and "doing the right thing" in all that it does, sustaining it's mission to provide affordable, high quality housing, and a place where families can call home.

The company maintains an A+ rating by the BBB of Middle Tennessee and honors a commitment to integrity and "doing the right thing" in all that it does, sustaining its mission to provide affordable, high quality housing, and a place where families can call home.
