Summary
The McBee family, known for their cattle ranching and car wash empire, is making a bold move into real estate with plans to build McBee Acres — a 78-unit housing development in Independence. Despite patriarch Steve McBee Sr.’s two-year prison sentence for crop insurance fraud and a $7M repayment obligation, his sons are stepping up to lead the family’s expanding business ventures. Already active in property management and gas stations across Kansas City, this new project aims to meet rising housing demand, complete with walking trails and city utilities. With an FBI investigation ongoing and city council approval pending, the McBee Dynasty is reinventing itself — one duplex at a time.
