About Us

Creating Real Estate Innovations (CREI) aims to deliver unique, deeply satisfying living experiences. We believe your living space should be more than a mailing address, it should be an extension of yourself. “If you look at each of our properties, the size and scope are very manageable,” says Gagandeep “Gagan” Lakhmna, co-founder and partner of CREI. “It’s not a behemoth 300-unit building, where you’re just a number. Every unit has been given that individual attention.”

Catering to a diverse demographic, our Philadelphia-based company currently has several major projects in development around the city and Greater Philadelphia area. “We are selling a lifestyle,” Lakhmna notes. With this in mind, Lakhmna has created buildings with features that convey the personality within each structure. Master landscaping, recessed plasma TVs, Poggenpohl kitchens, Gaggenau appliances, and European-style fireplaces are just some of the distinctive elements of a CREI property.

While most of our projects currently remain local, CREI will be attaching its name to major development projects across the country and, eventually, the world. Locations that are part of the current growth plan are New York City, The Caribbean, and India. No matter where CREI chooses to develop, Singh says, each creation will be sure to project a sense of pride, purpose and integrity. “Anyone can build a home,” he says. “We want to bring something into the world that has a distinctive character and personality — not just another brick-and-mortar or vinyl-and-concrete kind of construction. We want to create places to live that will inspire awe and admiration.”

Simply put, CREI does not exist to create more of the same.
