BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Oct. 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Associa, the industry’s largest community management company, announced today that the WestGate Condominium Board of Directors has selected Associa McKay Management as the community’s management partner. The agreement was effective Oct. 1, 2026, with Associa McKay Management assuming full responsibility for management and operations effective Jan. 1, 2027.
Widely recognized for its premier location, exceptional ownership experience, and deep connection to University of Alabama traditions, Westgate has earned a reputation as one of the most distinguished condominium communities associated with a Southeastern Conference (SEC) campus. Among alumni, supporters, and university-adjacent property owners throughout the SEC, Westgate is frequently regarded as a benchmark for quality, convenience, and game-day living.
Under the agreement, Associa McKay Management will provide comprehensive community association management services, including operational leadership, financial management, governance support, maintenance oversight, vendor administration and strategic planning assistance.
"Westgate occupies a unique place not only within Alabama's condominium market, but also within the broader SEC community," said Bryan Stewart, CMCA®, president of Associa McKay Management. "For many owners and alumni, Westgate represents more than real estate. It is part of the University of Alabama experience and one of the most recognized residential communities associated with college athletics. We are honored to partner with the Board and owners and look forward to serving as a trusted long-term management partner."
WestGate serves as a highly sought-after address for alumni, families, investors and Crimson Tide supporters who value both the ownership experience and the traditions associated with one of the nation’s most celebrated collegiate environments.
"The Board conducted a thorough and deliberate evaluation process in selecting a management partner," said Lisa Hill, president of the Westgate Condominium Board of Directors. "Associa McKay Management demonstrated a strong commitment to service excellence, communication, responsiveness, and long-term stewardship. We are excited to begin this partnership and confident it will help preserve and enhance the standards that have made Westgate one of the most respected condominium communities associated with any SEC campus."
The partnership reflects a shared commitment to operational excellence, financial responsibility, property preservation, and owner satisfaction. Associa McKay Management will work closely with the Board of Directors to support Westgate's continued success while protecting and enhancing the long-term value of the community.
"As Westgate continues its legacy as one of Alabama's premier condominium communities and one of the most recognized residential properties associated with the SEC, we are proud to support the Board's vision for the future," Stewart said.
