Tim Keach

Chairman & Managing Principal


Tim began working for his father, Dorris Keach founder of Keach Construction Company, as a concrete finisher while in high school. Dorris, an accomplished craftsman, instilled in Tim skills and the importance of paying attention to detail early in Tim’s career. Today, those same attributes and high quality craftmanship are the foundation of what TDK delivers day in and day out.

After graduating from Middle Tennessee State University in 1973, Tim returned to his father’s company in Robards, Kentucky as a tradesman and supervisor. He worked his way up through the company before assuming the role of Chairman upon his father’s retirement. For 25 years, Tim built more than 100 schools and municipal buildings for federal, state, and local governments. In 1999, Tim concentrated TDK’s efforts on building student housing, which formed the blueprint of TDK’s transition to a multifamily construction company, completing projects throughout the Southeast and Southwest.

In 2005, TDK began to develop some of its own projects while continuing third party construction for other development companies. In 2008, when other companies struggled to get projects financed, Tim trusted his judgement based on years of experience and stuck with his business plan. By 2012, TDK was developing projects valued at more than $100 million a year. Tim’s vision to transition to a development platform has led to constructing more than 10,000 apartment units with $2 billion in value. As Chairman and Managing Principal, Tim oversees the implementation of the company’s strategic plan, the development of new projects, and client relationships.
