Sallee Development

Sallee Development is a U.S. real estate development firm and full-service property company headquartered in Lee’s Summit, Missouri, with deep roots in the Kansas City metropolitan area. Founded in 1989 by the Sallee family, the firm has grown from a local community builder into a vertically integrated developer of build-for-rent residential communities, single-family homes, multifamily units, and maintenance-free villas across the Midwest. Its development philosophy blends thoughtful design, quality construction, and community-oriented planning to create appealing living and investment environments.

Over its decades of operations, Sallee Development has delivered and currently manages a broad portfolio of residential communities while also developing and owning commercial investment properties such as industrial and flex space. With projects spanning nine Midwestern states, the firm’s footprint reflects both local expertise and regional reach. Its vertically integrated team handles land planning, design, construction, leasing, and long-term management—building stable, income-producing real estate solutions that meet market demand.

Sallee places a strong emphasis on build-for-rent communities that offer maintenance-free living options for residents, from first-time renters to active adults seeking quality housing without the burdens of homeownership. The company’s commitment to community development and operational excellence has led to a growing pipeline of residential units and commercial assets that contribute to both investor value and neighborhood vitality.
