After graduating from Penn State University in 1988, Tim Pasch hit the ground running as he launched his career, identifying and capitalizing on development and real estate opportunities in his hometown of York, PA. Since founding Pasch Companies in 1990, the company has grown into a regional leader in the real estate industry, offering a full range of services in commercial and residential real estate, investment, development, management, construction, engineering, leasing and property management.
Tim's bold vision has propelled the company to new heights, making it a cornerstone of the community. His ability to anticipate and adapt to shifting economic landscapes has been key to navigating challenges and seizing opportunities.
Current principal projects include Freedom Square, a progressive, master-planned community, and The Seasons single family homes and townhomes. Other significant developments include bringing Aldi to Windsor Plaza in Red Lion, and a complete renovation of Bentley Farms, a premier wedding and event venue. Each project reflects Tim's dedication to the community and innovation in real estate and development.
Beyond his business achievements, Tim has always been driven by a calling to make a meaningful impact on the lives of others. He founded The Pasch Foundation in 2004, a nonprofit organization that reflects his deep commitment to supporting children and veterans. Through the foundation, he has helped fund numerous programs across the South Central PA region, touching countless lives and uplifting the community he cares so much about. For Tim, the foundation is a way to create lasting, positive change and share his good fortune with those who need it most.
With keen business acumen and a knack for innovation, Tim has expanded the Pasch portfolio into dynamic ventures including real estate development, high-return investments and groundbreaking construction projects—paving the way for future growth and success.
