McLennan Company was established in 1912 by William C. McLennan, a young Scottish bricklayer who had recently immigrated to the Chicagoland area. The company started as a contracting business, and throughout the 1920's and 1930's constructed over 5,000 homes. This unique vision includes a 54-lot subdivision near Canfield Road and Devon Avenue that included the first all-gas houses in the city of Park Ridge. The company expanded from masonry and contracting to subdividing, building, brokering and developing new concepts.

McLennan Property Management have been managing my commercial property in Park Ridge for 5 years now and are doing an excellent job. They are professional, responsive, and provide a great level of support with repairs, tenant issues, etc. I highly recommend them.

Steve, Rosemary, Owen, and the rest of their staff are always responsive to our requests. They are always friendly and respectful to us, including our employees. We have been dealing with McLennan since they assumed management of our building many years ago. Prior to that, we were dealing directly with the owner of the building or his representative.

It was a major improvement when McLennan took over managing this property. Maintenance issues get cleaned up and repaired, calls are returned, problems are solved. We are grateful for their attentiveness, care, and genuine interest in seeing our business succeed. Thank you!

Steve, Rosemary and the entire residential property division have always been great to work with over the last 3 years. Always have any issues solved quickly and they are happy to help with any request made. On top of that, wonderful people in general. Couldn't recommend anyone more.

The McLennan team has always been outstanding to work with. They have gone above and beyond when any attention is required for the buildings - even for off hour emergencies. As a tenant for the past six plus years, I am grateful they are my management team.

My wife and I have been renting a commercial property through Mclennan for over five years. They, and the owner, were very willing to work with us on renovations to get the space prepared for our build out. Since then, Steve has always been a phone call or email away when we need service in our unit. They are a professional team which makes it easy to maintain a mutually beneficial professional relationship.

We have worked with the McLennan Companies for many years and can speak to their professionalism and integrity. It is not necessarily what is best for either the owner or the tenant; it is what's the right thing to do. Speaking as an owner, our tenants love working with the entire McLennan staff and that makes me a happy owner. Strongly recommend.

I have been repairing and installing new and existing plumbing and HVAC systems for Mclennan Companies for 20 years now. They have always been fair and honest to their contractors. They treat their tenants and customers with great respect as well. I highly recommend this company!
