A Vertically Integrated Industrial Platform

CRE Holdings maintains an hands-on approach to every stage of the industrial real estate process — whether it's purchasing an off-market acquisition or ground-up development, marketing, leasing, property and asset management. This integrated model allows the firm to act decisively on opportunities that traditional large capital sources struggle to underwrite within conventional timelines.

The firm's strategy is anchored in the thesis: the Southeast manufacturing corridor is structurally undersupplied in sub-75,000 SF industrial product, and that undersupply will deepen as suppliers continue to onshore and reshore production capacity back to the US.

What Our Partners Say

"Daniel Levison is one of the most thoughtful and disciplined industrial real estate principals operating in the Southeast today. His ability to source, structure, and execute on complex opportunities is exceptional.”
“We have known Daniel Levison of CRE Holdings for more than forty years and have watched his career progress from service provider to trusted real estate advisor and principal. He is hands‑on and involved in the details of every part of the process and invests his company’s capital alongside his limited partners creating a real alignment of interests. CRE Holdings investments have generally performed as projected, and we would invest in another CRE Holdings project because we trust him to always do what is best for the deal and the partnership.”
“CRE Holdings has always been proactive and consistent about the progress of our project, and honest about the ups and downs of a multi‑year development. Their return projections have for the most part come in at or better than initial estimates, and they work very hard to protect their investor’s capital as well as his own. We have been part of projects where they have sacrificed their returns to make the other investors whole. His track record of positive returns and consistent communication is why so many of investors come back, and we would definitely invest in another CRE Holdings project.”
“Communication has been phenomenal — investment updates and information on new opportunities have always been timely and prompt. We have never once experienced a delay in information. As a long‑standing investor, the majority of our investments have performed at or above projections, and in the few that fell below expectations the company always found a way to make it work over both the short and long term. Their hands‑on approach throughout has been the key to our success. We would absolutely invest in another CRE Holdings project.”
“We started investing in industrial real estate with CRE Holdings back in the 1990s, and they have a real eye for spotting great industrial opportunities. We trust their judgment on a property value and its potential profitability. We invested in most of their opportunities and ended up with a fantastic return. We would feel confident investing with Daniel & CRE Holdings in future deals.”
“We have known and worked with CRE Holdings for the past sixteen years, both as a vendor and as an investor, and in that time, we have walked and evaluated many commercial roofing systems together. CRE Holdings is a rare kind of real estate operator —willing to climb the ladder, walk the roof, and see the condition of an asset firsthand. As an investor we are confident they manage each project thoughtfully protecting the property, controlling long‑term costs, and maximizing returns.”
“It is always a pleasure to work with industry professionals who take the time to weigh a tenant’s needs and objectives and focus a project on the components that drive the owner’s operations. Working with CRE Holdings has allowed Peak Steel to hit major milestones with precision, and submittals, approvals, payment applications, RFIs, and additional scope were handled seamlessly because of the professionalism and processes in place. After nearly thirty years in commercial construction around metro Atlanta, I have come to appreciate customer service above all else, and CRE Holdings drives a spirit of cooperation that allows our build team to meet its commitments, dates, and objectives.”
