J. Alistair McKenzie

A Storied Life, Inc.
Co-Founder
Alistair will tell you he has an obligation to make the world a place where human beings and their environment can flourish.

As a writer and real estate developer, this is what he aims to do. At his core, he is a creative problem solver, storyteller, and visionary who believes in the power of concrete action to create regenerative and reciprocal solutions to our societal and environmental problems. After more than a decade as a civil rights attorney and small business owner, Alistair has begun to step back from that role.

After seeing the limitations of helping people as a lawyer (after something bad had happened) he saw how development can change people’s lives in a more positive manner. He has turned his life and skills toward developing the built environment to better foster relationships between people, to build community, and to improve our relationship with the world we all inhabit together.

Along with several others, Alistair has developed Belmont Hall, a food hall and entertainment complex, which is a culinary, cultural, and community incubator. Also known as a place to just enjoy some food and have a great time. Alistair also has developed, with several others, The Mt. Lily Studios, a small 6-unit affordable housing complex in the heart of downtown Pensacola. Both projects are expected to break ground in early 2023.
