The MainGate Story

Kyle and Ryan grew up in the Pacific Northwest, where they learned about property management by watching their father build a successful management and acquisitions company. They both joined the Military after college and want to apply the mission-driven leadership they found in the Army and the operational principles they gained from working in the private sector to MainGate.

Drawing inspiration from their childhood and their military service, Kyle and Ryan founded MainGate Management in 2023. The name "MainGate" gives a nod to the central entry of a military post and also signifies the main access point where residents can find their next apartment community.
