Creighton Commercial Development is a developer who brings national, regional and local tenants into commercial projects of distinction through strategic site selection. Dan Creighton, the visionary behind Creighton Commercial Development, realized that the key to maximizing the return for our investment, our investors and clients was to control the construction process. After working with several contractors over the years around the country and never receiving that attention to detail and commitment to excellence the company desired, Creighton Construction & Management was formed by bringing the disciplines and knowledge of key individuals together as partners and associates from Fortune 500 companies and Top 10 building companies to deliver our commitment to excellence to every project. In keeping with this philosophy, Creighton Realty was formed to handle sales, leasing and property management.

Beginning with the knowledge that every project is an investment, we understood the need to deliver each project on time and on budget. Creighton begins each project by reducing costs and enhancing return through the thorough evaluation of project, scope, design, schedule and value engineering.

Brent Evans, COO
Brent Evans moved to Southwest Florida from Colorado in 2004, just in time to welcome Hurricane Charley to Sanibel. He has 21 years of experience in strategic planning and operations for large-scale residential and commercial development and construction projects.

While in Colorado, he also employed these strengths on behalf of the oil and gas industries – in the performance of logistics in the engineering, design, fabrication and installation of onshore and offshore exploration and production operations.

Brent is married and has three daughters in college. In his spare time Brent enjoys jet skiing and biking on and around Sanibel.

The partners met through a national developer, who both were negotiating projects. The need in the area for commercial development was indentified– most specifically in Cape Coral, which contains intense residential to a relatively small ratio of commercial. This lack of diversity opened the door for Creighton Commercial Construction & Management to be formed.
