The Keith Companies Opens New Downtown Office in San Diego,
California 


IRVINE, Calif., Oct. 5  /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The Keith Companies, Inc.
(NASDAQ:TKCI), an engineering and consulting services firm, today announced
that it has opened a new office in downtown San Diego, California.

Aram Keith, the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer announced "Our
downtown San Diego office will allow us to further service the needs of our
existing clients, generate new clients, and draw from another part of San Diego
for qualified staff."

The Company indicates that this new office in the County of San Diego will
compliment its solid workload in real estate development-related projects
handled by its existing office in northern San Diego.  This is the first office
opened in one of several areas that the Company is evaluating.  It will be
staffed by a combination of existing and new staff with plans to continue
hiring to accommodate available opportunities.  "While acquisition activity and
efforts are focused on our diversification plan, we have determined that
pursuit of ongoing real estate opportunities should be addressed as well.  We
may likely see other opportunities like this in the future," added Keith.
