McWhinney's True Beginning In Loveland |
Loveland Reporter-Herald Promotes McWhinney By Publishing An Industry Newsletter Article As A News Story Identical articles written by the Loveland Reporter-Herald "staff-writer" Craig Young can be found in promotional trade newsletter like the Colorado Apartment Association newsletter but also printed in the Loveland Reporter-Herald as an original news story. In this example, the CSU School of Real Estate, a recipient of McWhinney support, provided Troy McWhinney their "Real Estate Entrepreneur of the Year" award which was also given to his brother Troy in 2009. Like many other accounts, the biographical data is incomplete (missing education) and promotes a narrative very different from reality regarding the origin of McWhinney Enterprises in Loveland. |
The Shifting Story Below is the latest refresh on the McWhinney website regarding their first property acquisition in Loveland. Instead of inheriting a 900 acre farm (as reported in 1991) they now report buying 440 acres with no mention of their father who set-up the commercial development company. Copied from McWhinney website "history" on April 4, 2016 http://www.mcwhinney.com/contentPages/display/44 "In 1991 while living in California, Chad and Troy seized an opportunity to purchase 440 acres of family-owned land that was part of the original John Hahn homestead at Interstate 25 and Highway 34. That transaction was the first in a series that launched McWhinney as leaders of real estate development in Northern Colorado and beyond." |
