"I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with Keith Rowan for nearly ten years. In short, Keith is the consummate professional, who has the unique ability to be a real team player and to be able to take the initiative. He is solutions oriented. The more complex the issue or situation, the more you can look to Keith to arrive at workable solutions. His analytic skills are superb, as are his written and oral skills. His diligence on any project or assignment makes him incredibly reliable. His always positive, calm attitude towards others makes it a pleasure to work with him".

Charles Shorter, Executive Director and Head of Public Private Development Practice (retired), Transaction Real Estate Advisory Services, Ernst & Young LLP, New York

"Keith is a consummate real estate development professional that I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone. Despite his extensive and impressive knowledge in his chosen professional specialty, it is his willingness to work hard and tirelessly, to assume a leadership role, and to continue working until the job is completed and outstanding, that sets him apart from many consultants and makes working with him a very rewarding experience."

Ken Tatum, President – Tatum & Associates LLC, East Orange, NJ

"I have worked with Keith for the past 3 years on a variety of projects. He is a very capable business developer and has a real drive and enthusiasm to create sales opportunities and generate new business. His style is very personable and both clients and teams feel comfortable working with him across a range of activities.  Keith is comfortable taking the lead on engagements involving a range of internal and external advisors, most notably Keith led the Masdar project for me where he was required to manage a multi disciplined team across 3 geographies, the UK, US and Abu Dhabi. Keith is an asset to the team and one that is both dependable and fun to work with."

He has a knack for taking the complexity out of projects and creating manageable executable tasks for the team.

Christine Odada, Associate Project Finance Director, BayernLB / Bayerische Landesbank, London, UK

 “I worked directly with Keith as part of the core implementation team for our City’s first HOPE VI Urban Redevelopment Grant from HUD.  Keith served as Program Manager providing leadership and oversight to a team of professionals for the $47,000,000 HUD Grant and the other sources of finance for the project. His leadership, commitment and work ethic were very admirable and these qualities proved valuable in moving the project forward.  I found Keith to be very committed to the highest professional standards and showed expertise in directing the core team and sub-consultants, as well as providing financial advisory services and support to the Housing Authority team as we began to build internal capacity.”

Luretha Phillips, HOPE VI Manager and Assistant Director of Asset Management, Memphis Housing Authority, Memphis, TN

“Keith hired my firm to serve as a subconsultant on a ground-breaking project. As a person who heads a firm that frequently serves as a subconsultant to larger firms, I found him to be uncommonly fair and also very respectful of the talents that my firm brought to the assignment. He makes everyone around him feel valued. Keith is very professional in his behavior and approach and he always maintains a positive outlook. I would be glad for any opportunity to work with him again and I have recommended him highly to members of my network of professional associates, all of whom are impressed with his background, expertise, experience, and personal traits.”

Roberta F. Burroughs, President, Roberta F. Burroughs & Associates, Houston, Texas.

“Keith has been a very inspirational mentor to me during his time at EY and I learned a substantial amount about how to be a leader through him. He has an extremely positive attitude, no matter how much stress and pressure he is under, and even during late nights or weekend work. He takes time to make sure everything is done at the highest quality possible and he is extremely patient and takes the time to listen to people’s concerns. He is also very willing to share his experiences as a point of reference and to provide his insight into different issues.”
