focus has been the development of single- and multi-tenant
industrial, retail, healthcare, and office properties. We have
diligently recruited and retained the top project managers in
the business. Each professional brings separate areas of
expertise including land planning, finance, and construction,
while also consistently adhering to TKC’s uniformly high
standards of quality, service, and integrity.

when we selected their firm to develop and own our 235,000
Sq. Ft. office and Phase I testing facility in Kansas City, Kansas.
It was a next to impossible schedule to fulfill, but they did a
fantastic job of delivering this four-story office building in 8.5
months and achieving the planned occupancy date. At the
