How Loveland’s McWhinney Brothers Got Their Start May Surprise You

It's hard to take a look around Loveland and not see a project that McWhinney isn't or wasn't a part of. Their real estate development scope reaches up and down the Front Range of Northern Colorado. Today they deal in development, acquisitions, investment management, and asset management.

Loveland-Based McWhinney Changes Name

It's not very often that you see a company change its name after decades of success; but in early 2026, that's exactly what McWhinney did, becoming Realberry. A well-known company known for big real estate/land-development projects, up and changing its  name did stand out, especially for those who'd lived in the Loveland areas for any length of time.

30 Years of Success Beginning in the Early 90s

The founders of McWhinney, Chad and Troy McWhinney (initially along with their father) started the company in 1991 with the groundbreaking for what would become Centerra. Decades later, not only did they have Centerra under their belt, but projects such as office spaces and corporate headquarters, research and development spaces, manufacturing complexes, and retail destinations.

Young Entrepreneurs Turn Berries Into Real Estate Developing

According to the Reporter-Herald, Troy and Chad began their business journey selling fruit, such as strawberries, that were grown by a farmer leasing some land from the McWhinney family in southern California. It's not too surprising to hear of young entrepreneurs making a few bucks from a fruit stand; what may seem surprising is when you hear they had nearly 30 stands, had 75 employees and took in about $1 million a season.
