Our company began some 40 years ago on the South Side of Chicago, when Joseph P. Fealey began renovating apartment buildings as a side job. He quickly grew passionate about his work, and in 1981 Micor Development was established and building became his full-time career.
Slowly growing over the next three decades, Micor Development took on large apartment and condo projects, as well as commercial renovations for large office buildings in the city such as 20 E. Jackson. Joseph’s son Jason worked part-time with his father from age 15, until he completed his degree at Loyola University in Chicago when he joined the company full-time to work alongside his father. The father and son duo completed projects across Chicago and Wisconsin until the economic downturn in 2008, when building came to a halt across the nation.
Jason and his family moved to Saint John, Indiana in 2011 and started a third generation of the Fealey family. In 2012, after the market bounced back, Micor Custom Homes, LLC was established with offices in Chicago and Northwest Indiana. With over a dozen completed projects across Chicago and Saint John, the Fealey duo developed a passion for drawing upon their experiences serving both markets, pioneering a new approach to homebuilding which would eventually become Archetype.
