KBC ADVISORS
Tony Creme oversees the planning and execution of the industrial development program, which is the largest part of the project. He collaborates with both new and existing corporate tenants to assess their operational needs and offer tailored solutions for distribution and logistics. Originally from Syracuse, Creme relocated to Dallas to attend Southern Methodist University (SMU). He completed two summer internships before being hired full-time in the marketing department after earning his BBA, 21 years ago. Creme has played a pivotal role in expanding the project from fewer than 50 companies to over 500.
Tony Creme Bio
With 21 years of experience, Tony Creme has been instrumental in driving the remarkable expansion of the company’s industrial division. Under his leadership, the number of tenants surged from 50 to over 500. A major factor in this success is the “on-demand” strategy, which ensures speculative space is always available, allowing tenants to move in without delay.
After over 20 years, where he played a pivotal role in the significant expansion of its industrial platform, Tony Creme departed the company in September 2020 to join KBC Advisors’ newly established Dallas office. He wrapped up his tenure on a high note, securing leases for 10 million square feet and initiating or completing 6 million square feet of new construction projects.
