Mailey Developments Ltd. has established a reputation as one of the foremost development firms in British Columbia’s interior. As a result of the diversification of its services, Mailey’s projects pervade many of BC’s communities. This success is visible in Mailey’s relentless endeavour to achieve excellence, as evident in the company’s evolution.
 

The construction tradition started in the Mailey family in Northern Ireland in 1947, when Rick Mailey, at the age of fifteen, started his apprenticeship as a journeyman-joiner. Then, in 1952, he moved to Windsor, Ontario, where he eventually became foreman and then construction manager for Eastern Construction. While at Eastern, his largest projects included an addition to St. Joseph’s Hospital in Sarnia, Ontario.

 

Eventually, Rick Mailey became partner and then owner of R.W. McKay Construction, a firm dating back to 1928. McKay provided services in the commercial, institutional, and industrial construction fields to Sarnia and the outlying Lambton region. It is the success in development excellence of this first company that has acted as a bar for Mailey.   Mailey Developments Ltd. was created in 1992, in Kelowna, British Columbia. In recreating and building upon the successes of McKay, Mailey quickly established itself as both a flexible and diversified construction company to meet the needs of the booming Kelowna market.

 

Since its inception, Mailey has diversified itself into the institutional, commercial, industrial, recreational, and residential construction markets. It has been involved in high profile and demanding projects throughout British Columbia. Mailey’s perpetually growing profile has come to include projects such as the $10.2 million expansion of the Kelowna International Airport, the $8.9 million Prince George Aquatic Centre, and private residential developments, like the award-winning $5 million Peregrine Point Estates, in Vernon.

 
Today, in meeting the demands of the ever-growing Kelowna housing and construction markets, Mailey’s commitment to development excellence is more evident than ever. Mailey is able to meet its clients’ individual needs through a number of delivery methods, such as fixed-price contracts, project and construction management, or design-build agreements.
