For over 20 years Frank McKinney and his team have created art in the form of the world's most magnificent oceanfront estate homes, each set on a sun drenched canvas known as the Atlantic Ocean.
Current offerings range from $15 million to $135 million, and our sold oceanfront artistry exceeds a total value of $500 million.
Mr. McKinney and his team travel the globe seeking to enhance the creative vision that is brought to designing each beautiful mansion. Exotic locales such as the Italian Riviera, Rome, Florence, Milan, South of France, Loire Valley, Bali, Fiji, Tahiti, Hawai'i and others are seen reflected in Mr. McKinney's artistry.

The design team also travels the world to secure the most unique appointments, including rare stones of gem quality, exotic, renewable & reclaimed woods, brilliant illuminations, carved carpets, ornate metal and glass work, artistic paintings, fine upholstery and wall coverings, aquatics and aquariums, architectural ceilings, seamless home automation, theatre treatments, custom built furniture, priceless accessories and dazzling flora and fauna.
Widely recognized as the industry leader building on the direct oceanfront, Mr. McKinney and his team apply the most rigid construction standards and technologies including solid poured concrete and steel roof, wall and floor systems, concrete pilings (often secured 40'+ into the coral shelf below), metal framing, hurricane rated doors and windows, ultra high-efficiency mechanical and plumbing equipment, corrosive resistant metals and salt tolerant landscaping.

In bringing the vision to reality, each McKinney masterpiece is passionately created on speculation, rather than commissioned for a particular buyer. Like a priceless piece of art, painstaking details and vivid imagination are reflected in each residence. The process does not stop with the completion of the home. Each is fully furnished and accessorized by well known designer Nilsa Design Services, down to the gold plated tooth brush in the master bathroom, imported linens on the beds and pillow-soft towels in the closets.

Often a buyer will visit a McKinney creation one day, and be sleeping there as the proud new owner only days from the initial query. Here is where the fortunate are privileged to "live the art," each time enjoying the rare combination of experiencing an emotional and financial return from such an investment.
Limited to creating only 2-3 grand estates a year, the molds are destroyed once an estate home is completed, thus insuring originality not to be found elsewhere in the world - ever.

Many of Mr. McKinney's creations are also the first ultra-luxury homes to obtain “green” certification through the U.S. Green Building Council and the Florida Green Building Council. By adhering to rigorous "green" standards, McKinney's homes are setting the standard for environmentally responsible, luxury construction practices.
The USGBC’s LEED-H (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design for Homes) program is the nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction, and operation of high performance green homes. Mr. McKinney and LEED-H promote a whole-home approach to sustainability by recognizing performance in five key areas of human and environmental health: sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, renewable materials selection, and indoor environmental (air) quality.
