Transforming properties into legacy assets
KD Keller Development LLC
KD Keller Development was formed in 2018 as a real estate development partner specializing in urban mixed use properties. Our firm is the successor entity to Mercury Advisors, which has been active in the commercial development in downtown Tampa since 2013 with notable projects such as Grand Central at Kennedy and Channel Club welcoming Tampa’s first downtown Publix.
Our mission is to help landowners realize the full potential of their emerging property by creating a true partnership that improves their local community. We’re able to do this by working with local family-owned businesses that possess real estate as part of their portfolio, but are not actively involved in the Real Estate development side of their business. We help these families re-develop their properties, which may have become obsolete over time, and transform with them assets they own into income generating legacy assets that can be retained by future generations to come.
