Deanbuilds To Lead Construction Of Keeneland Capital Project

LEXINGTON, Ky. – Deanbuilds, a Lexington-based company, has been selected as the construction management firm at the reins of Keeneland’s capital project.

Established in 2010, Deanbuilds has worked with some deep-rooted customers in the Central Kentucky community, such as Town Branch Park, Sayre School, Lexington Catholic, and Midway University.

“We started with an idea of creating customers for life. With each customer, our number one goal is to provide a superior project experience,” said Blanton Coates, Vice President of Business Development and Preconstruction at Deanbuilds. “The opportunity to build upon such an impressive landmark in Lexington with this project is one that our team does not take lightly.”

Deanbuilds also announced that construction has officially commenced. The on-site work is in phase one of construction and currently includes establishing underground utilities, grading, and earthwork.

“This is an opportunity to work with a historic location that has its roots firmly set in Fayette County. Our team understands what Keeneland means to the community,” said David Dean, Founder & President of Deanbuilds. “The team that we’ve built to run this job is highly focused in meeting the expectations of our customer.”

Originally announced in October 2023, this series of unprecedented upgrades is the first construction project of its size at Keeneland since it was established in 1936.

This capital investment project features the construction of a new Operations Building and a permanent Paddock Chalet with a reimagined saddling experience. To see more plan details, see the Keeneland project announcement.
