Glenmar Ranches

Glenmar Ranches is a 56-lot custom home community in Eagle Mountain, Utah, developed in partnership with a landowner who prioritized conservation. McCleery Company managed the entitlement and development of 33 one-acre lots, while assisting a neighboring developer with 23 additional lots, all while preserving a large portion of the land as a wildlife preserve with trails throughout.

Bell View

Bellview is an 8-lot subdivision in Woodland Hills, Utah, where McCleery Company assisted a landowner who faced challenges obtaining city approval for her 6-lot plan. By securing final plat approval, reconfiguring the layout to add two additional lots, and saving $600K in development costs, we helped increase the landowner's total value by over $1.5 million.

Elk Point

Elk Point Development in Woodland Hills, Utah, involved McCleery Company assisting a landowner who struggled to obtain city approval to subdivide their property into two 2-acre lots.

Bella Vista

Bella Vista in Santaquin, Utah, involved McCleery Company stepping in after a developer and investor overpromised and underdelivered, leaving the landowner in a difficult position.

Steve McCleery | CEO, McCleery Company

From Developer to Disruptor

Steve McCleery didn’t grow up in real estate. He started in tech — working at an AI firm with no kids, no real estate experience, and a growing sense he was made for something more.

So he left it behind.

What followed was years of rejection, financial strain, and pure grit. Steve offered to work for free. Studied until 2 a.m. Knocked doors. Got flooded out of his own home. But when he stopped chasing deals and started serving people first, things changed.

"Life isn’t business. It’s always personal. That’s the only way we operate."

Steve built McCleery Company by helping landowners no one else would touch and solving problems others avoided. That same mentality now powers Naxxa.

 Even if it's just to introduce yourself, feel free to drop him a line.
