ABOUT JULIE CREED
Julie is an experienced commercial real estate leader. Prior to starting Creed Global Resources, LLC, in 2021, Julie was Head of Global Real Estate for leading global executive recruiting firm, Heidrick & Struggles. For 12+ years she was responsible for the strategic direction and day-to-day oversight of the company’s real estate portfolio of 50 leased offices in 26 countries including lease and renewal negotiations, financial analysis and documentation of all lease commitments including capital expenditures, the office design and project management of build-outs and renovations, and all lease administration. Julie executed more than 400 lease transactions, built or renovated 65 offices in 25 countries, and oversaw a 32% reduction in operating lease expense.
WHAT WE DO
Creed Global Resources was created to solve the challenges Creed personally faced while leading global real estate at Heidrick – finding experienced, flexible support during busy periods and hiring hands-on senior project managers, who were not part of “the Big Four”, to manage tenant fit outs and renovations.
FOR SMALL AND MID-SIZED COMPANIES
Not every organization needs a full-time real estate executive — but every company benefits from experienced real estate support.
We provide affordable project management for office fit-outs, renovations, and moves.
We serve as a strategic partner to CFOs and operations leaders, offering independent lease portfolio management and advisory services.
From financial modeling through design, construction, and move-in, we can act as your go-to resource for every phase of the real estate lifecycle.
FOR CORPORATE REAL ESTATE EXECUTIVES (CREs)
When bandwidth is stretched, CGR steps in as a seamless extension of your team.
We can manage overflow projects such as concurrent fit-outs or lease negotiations without adding headcount.
We also provide interim coverage for CREs on short-term leave, ensuring continuity and consistent project delivery.
FOR LANDLORD & TENANT REPRESENTATION BROKERS
CGR bridges the critical gap between deal and delivery.
We help smaller tenants move smoothly from a signed LOI to move-in — managing design, construction, and occupancy details.
For projects where large firms like JLL, Cushman, or CBRE may be too costly or scaled for the scope, we offer high-touch, cost-effective expertise.
