CREDE Expands National Reach into Texas with Acquisition of Hill Building Group and Cattlemen Construction Services

This partnership unites Jack Hill Jr. and Jack Hill Sr. for the first time, while also expanding CREDE’s market reach and expertise.

Irvine, Calif. – Jan. 22, 2025 – CREDE (Commercial Real Estate Development Enterprises), a national leader in commercial real estate development and project management, has announced the acquisition of Hill Building Group, a premier commercial construction management firm based in Arlington, Texas. This acquisition not only expands CREDE’s reach into the Lone Star State, but also brings Jack Hill Jr., president of Hill Building Group, together with his father, respected construction executive Jack Hill Sr. 

“Uniting Hill Building Group under CREDE’s leadership is a momentous milestone,” said Colby Durnin, CEO of CREDE. “Their combined decades of experience, vision and commitment to excellence make them an ideal collaboration. They are fully aligned with our mission to deliver innovative, high-quality development solutions that positively impact communities across diverse sectors.” 

Jack Hill Sr. will serve as a strategic advisor to CREDE, bringing more than three decades of expertise in sports and entertainment development. Hill Sr. has played a pivotal role in the creation of iconic venues, including the Texas Rangers ballpark, AT&T Stadium for the Dallas Cowboys, Levi’s Stadium for the San Francisco 49ers and American Airlines Center for the NHL's Dallas Stars and NBA's Dallas Mavericks. His track record of delivering large-scale projects sets the gold standard for the sports industry. 

“This relationship is an extraordinary opportunity to amplify our impact,” said Jack Hill Jr., president of Hill Building Group. “Working alongside my father and leveraging CREDE’s robust resources allows us to continue delivering innovative solutions while honoring the principles that have defined our work: quality, integrity and excellence.” 

Hill Building Group has established a reputation for delivering transformative developments across Texas. Notable projects include renovations at Globe Life Field, home to Major League Baseball's Texas Rangers; improvements at Choctaw Stadium, a 270-acre multi-purpose complex and former home of the Texas Rangers; and the City of Arlington’s 750,000-square-foot Economic Development Corporation satellite manufacturing facility. These projects showcase the company’s expertise in construction and infrastructure while reflecting its commitment to innovation and sustainability.  

This acquisition allows CREDE and Hill Building Group to leverage their complementary strengths. Hill Building Group’s clients will benefit from CREDE’s national reach, expanded resources and deeper market insights, while CREDE strengthens its presence in key sectors such as sports, entertainment, retail, office space, tech and manufacturing. Rooted in shared core values of integrity, transparency and relationship-driven success, this partnership strengthens the company’s deep expertise. 

As part of the acquisition, Eric Diaz and Ryan Blankers, co-founders of Cattlemen Construction Services, a trusted partner with Hill Building Group, will also join CREDE as part of its expansion into Texas. Diaz and Blankers bring decades of combined expertise, having managed more than $3.5 billion in commercial construction projects across sectors such as hospitality, retail and multi-purpose sports arenas. Their dedication to integrity, intentional relationships and innovative solutions aligns seamlessly with the values of both Hill Building Group and CREDE. 

This acquisition comes on the heels of CREDE’s recent expansion through the acquisition of Murow Development Consultants, a leading Orange County-based firm specializing in horizontal land development infrastructure. Together, these strategic acquisitions reinforce CREDE’s position as a national powerhouse, further expanding its expertise and resources and footprint across 27 states.
