FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Dallas, TX – May 11, 2026 – Keating Resources is proud to celebrate a major milestone for its founder, Gerard Keating, who marks 40 years in real estate this month. Gerard purchased his first property in May 1986 while attending the University of Nebraska, beginning a career that has since spanned four decades and more than $1 billion in real estate transactions across multiple asset classes and states.
As part of this anniversary celebration, Keating Resources is also announcing a leadership transition. Gerard Keating will move from CEO to Founder & Chairman, and Alec Keating will assume the role of CEO, continuing the company’s mission of making the world a better place, one property at a time.
“Celebrating my first real estate investment on May 3, 1986, and four decades in this business is both humbling and deeply meaningful to me,” said Gerard Keating, Founder & Chairman of Keating Resources. “What began with one property as a young man at the University of Nebraska became a lifetime of opportunity, challenge, and partnership. I have total confidence that Alec will successfully lead Keating Resources into its next chapter of growth.”
“It is an incredible honor to step into the role of CEO at Keating Resources and to build on the foundation my dad has spent forty years creating,” said Alec Keating. “His vision, work ethic, conviction, and willingness to take bold but thoughtful risks have shaped not just this company, but our family’s legacy. I’m deeply grateful for his years of leadership and service, and I look forward to carrying the spirit of Keating Resources forward with discipline, optimism, and a commitment to doing meaningful work in the communities where we invest.”
Gerard remains actively involved in the company as Founder & Chairman and looks ahead to this next season with confidence in the firm’s future.
