Kirco

What Kirco does

KIRCO is a third-generation, family-owned commercial real estate organization founded in 1974 and headquartered in Troy, Michigan. The company operates three integrated business divisions: KIRCO Development (build-to-suit, own, and lease commercial properties), KIRCO MANIX Construction (third-party construction management with roots dating to 1929 and over $4 billion in cumulative volume), and KIRCO Property Management (25 million square feet under management, approximately 50% third-party institutional). The firm targets large enterprise clients across corporate real estate (office, lab/R&D, advanced manufacturing), healthcare, and senior living verticals, with marquee projects including the Mercedes-Benz Financial Services USA Headquarters, Wacker Innovation Center, the Global Dow Center for Dow Chemical, Webasto Americas Headquarters, and the Aramco Americas R&D Center.

KIRCO's revenue model combines professional services fees from development and construction management, recurring managed-services revenue from property management, and investment income from owned and leased assets. Distribution is direct enterprise field sales through offices in Troy (Michigan), New Albany (Ohio), and West Palm Beach (Florida), supplemented by institutional owner partnerships (notably the SK Medical Management joint venture with Seavest for healthcare properties) and broker relationships. Pricing is project-based or percentage-of-fee-based with no published rate cards.

The organization is led by the Kiriluk family (Alan Kiriluk as Chairman, Matt Kiriluk as President & CEO) in its third generation of ownership, with Douglas W. Manix serving as President of KIRCO MANIX. Geographic operations span Michigan, Ohio, Florida, Alabama, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Rhode Island, and New York. The senior living business has been formalized under the Monark Grove brand with dedicated operating partnerships, and recent acquisitions (Legacy Reserve at Fritz Farm in Lexington, KY, and a Boston MSA community in 2023) signal an active expansion into new geographies and deepening of the senior living vertical.
