ABOUT ME
Biography
Meet Meegen McEwen
Founder & Director, EMC Legacy Property
I’m Meegen McEwen, founder of EMC Legacy Property, a property development and investment company focused on creating high-quality homes and sustainable opportunities for investors in the Portland real estate market.
My journey into property hasn’t followed a traditional path. Originally from Cape Town, South Africa, I moved abroad at a young age with a determination to create opportunities for myself and build a better future. Over the years, I’ve successfully built and operated businesses across multiple sectors, including beauty, education, and childcare, before transitioning into property development.
Entrepreneurship has always been at the heart of who I am. Having spent more than a decade running a successful childcare business, leading teams, managing operations, and serving families within my community, I developed the skills, resilience, and commercial mindset that now underpin my property business.
Today, EMC Legacy Property specializes in identifying, acquiring, and transforming underutilized residential properties into high-quality accommodation in the Portland real estate landscape. Our focus is on delivering well-designed homes that meet the needs of modern tenants while creating strong, sustainable returns for our investors and partners.
What sets EMC Legacy Property apart is our commitment to integrity, transparency, and long-term relationships. Property is more than bricks and mortar; it’s about creating lasting value, revitalizing communities, and building a legacy that benefits future generations.
As a business owner, property developer, and mother of three, I understand the importance of hard work, responsibility, and creating opportunities where others see challenges. Every project we undertake is approached with care, professionalism, and a clear vision for excellence.
Whether you’re an investor, lender, or someone seeking realtor services, I look forward to connecting and exploring how we can create value together.
Building homes. Creating opportunities. Leaving a legacy.
My Story
If you’d told my younger self that one day I’d be developing properties in the UK, I’d probably have laughed… and asked if you had the right person.
I was born in Cape Town, South Africa, where I learned early on that opportunities don’t always come to you—you often have to go and create them. That mindset took me from South Africa to Miami, and eventually to London, where I’ve built both a career and a life I’m incredibly grateful for.
Entrepreneurship has always been part of who I am. I started by building a successful beauty business, followed by running my own childcare company for over a decade. Each venture taught me invaluable lessons about leadership, resilience, customer service and the importance of building businesses with integrity. Looking back, every chapter was preparing me for the next.
Life hasn’t always gone according to plan. I’ve experienced loss, faced challenges I never expected, and had to rebuild more than once. Those experiences strengthened my faith, shaped my character and reminded me that our greatest growth often comes from life’s toughest moments.
Today, I’m the founder of EMC Legacy Property, where I specialise in transforming underused properties into high-quality homes. For me, property is about far more than bricks and mortar—it’s about creating opportunities, improving communities and building a legacy that lasts for generations.
When I’m not on a building site or planning the next project, you’ll usually find me travelling, in the gym, enjoying good food, or making memories with my three amazing children, who inspire everything I do.
I believe success isn’t just about the buildings we create—it’s about the people we help, the communities we improve and the legacy we leave behind. My journey is proof that with faith, determination and a willingness to keep learning, it’s never too late to build something extraordinary.
And yes… I’m still learning. Thankfully, renovating properties is usually easier than convincing my children to keep their bedrooms tidy!

Every project begins with a simple question: How can we create the greatest value for everyone involved?
We take a hands-on, detail-oriented approach to property development, carefully selecting locations, assessing opportunities, and managing each stage of the process from acquisition through to completion.
Our approach is built on four key principles:
Integrity – We do what we say we will do and communicate openly throughout every project.
Quality – We focus on creating homes that people are proud to live in and communities that benefit from investment.
Partnership – We believe the best results come from strong relationships with investors, contractors, professionals, and local stakeholders.
Legacy – We make decisions with the long term in mind, creating sustainable value that extends beyond the completion of a project.
By combining entrepreneurial thinking with disciplined project delivery, we aim to create opportunities that stand the test of time.
