Advisory
Owner’s Development & Construction Representation
The client’s advocate on either side of the lease.
What it is
One team, one standard
CRED represents our clients through the entire development and construction lifecycle, whether the owner is a brand building its flagship or a landlord repositioning its asset, from due diligence and design through permitting, construction, and delivery.
We work globally through a vetted network of senior leaders, architects, engineers, general contractors, and consultants in the world’s major retail markets. Every engagement follows one process and one standard of reporting, no matter the city.
For retailers, the scope can range from a single flagship to multisite rollouts, with prototype discipline, phased openings, and portfolio dashboards across markets. For property owners, we provide development and construction management for redevelopments, capital projects, and ground up work.
Development advisory. For organizations that run their own development programs, we work one level up from the project. We evaluate the current development lifecycle from start to finish, then design the strategy, governance, processes, and reporting that support it. The work includes pipeline management, stakeholder alignment, and executive visibility across every project in flight. We build the machine, not just the store.
One accountable partner from due diligence through delivery, bringing efficient delivery, institutional standards, and alignment with brand standards.
