Tim Keane arrived at real estate law by an unconventional path — one that gives him a professional edge few attorneys can replicate. Before earning his law degree, Keane built a career as an urban planner, earning a master’s degree in urban planning, serving as director of planning for the city of Shakopee, and working as a planner for the cities of Coon Rapids and Tucson, Arizona. That foundation informs every aspect of his legal practice.

An attorney at Kutak Rock LLP with more than 35 years of experience, Keane focuses on commercial real estate law, transactions, land use and development, public law and eminent domain. He serves as general counsel to municipalities throughout Minnesota, advising on zoning, variances, conditional use permits and public development projects, while also representing developers, property owners and nonprofits in acquisitions, dispositions, financing and entitlement approvals.

Among his notable matters, Keane served as eminent domain and real estate counsel for the land assembly supporting the Target Field ballpark project. He also serves as a condemnation commissioner for Hennepin County District Court.
