About Us | Black Creek Group

Our story

Black Creek Group was built on a long-standing partnership between Jordan Nott and Nicholas Francis, shaped by more than 20 years of hands-on experience building, scaling, and exiting businesses across multiple sectors. Over 10+ years, they have applied that operating mindset to real estate development, staying directly involved at every stage of every project. With completed projects delivering an average return of more than double the original investment, Black Creek Group reflects principled leadership, shared accountability, and a genuine commitment to lasting value.

How we execute

Every project moves forward only when the approvals path is clear, and the execution assumptions hold up against real construction conditions. We stay hands-on from the first site assessment through to the final build, making deliberate decisions at every stage. Cost control, schedule integrity, and quality of delivery are not aspirations for us. They are the standard we hold ourselves to on every project we take on.

Operating Principles

Our perspective is grounded in hands-on execution, careful cost management, and partnerships built to last.

Project-Level Involvement

Development is managed with direct involvement across approvals, timing, and key decisions at every stage.

Capital Discipline

We approach every project with conservative cost assumptions, careful staging, and a clear view of what each decision means for the build as a whole.

Phased Development

Projects are advanced through defined stages, with clear milestones, cost control, and coordination across consultants and partners.

Long-Term Alignment

We build relationships with partners who value accountability, transparency, and repeatable execution over short-term momentum.

Frequently asked questions

What does Black Creek Group develop?

Black Creek Group develops purpose-built rental, high-density mixed-use, and selective infill residential projects, with a focus on well-located communities where housing demand is durable, and execution conditions are sound.

Which markets do you focus on?

We focus on overlooked growth corridors where population is growing, infrastructure is improving, and housing supply hasn't kept pace with demand. These are markets where well-built development makes a real difference.

How do you manage entitlement risk?

Approvals are driven internally with direct municipal engagement. We do not advance construction exposure until planning clarity is achieved, which keeps projects on a solid footing before the heavy work begins.

Who is involved in managing your projects?

Jordan Nott and Nicholas Francis are directly involved across all stages of every project, from site selection and approvals through design coordination and delivery.

What makes Black Creek Group different from other developers?

We focus on markets others overlook, enter projects only when the fundamentals are right, and stay directly involved from start to finish. Our founders bring cross-sector operating experience to every build, which shapes how we think about timelines, costs, and long-term community impact.
