Crete Development Group
The company behind your home.
Buying a home off-plan is, in the end, an act of trust. Trust that the company that showed you the drawing will be there when you turn the key — through permitting, through construction, and long after delivery.
Crete Development Group is that company. A vertically integrated developer based in Rethymno, with sourcing, permitting, design, construction, advisory and asset management inside a single chain of accountability — anchored by Tekton, our in-house construction arm with more than twenty-five years of delivered work across the island.
Named, accountable, and almost all of it right here in Crete.
Leadership
The leaders behind every CDG home.
Portrait
Georgios Kimionis
Chief Construction Officer · Managing Partner · Tekton, Rethymno, Crete
CDG's access begins with Georgios Kimionis, whose family has stewarded land, commercial interests, and community relationships across the Rethymno region for generations, with a portfolio spanning healthcare, hospitality, and real estate. As Chief Construction Officer and Managing Partner, he also leads Tekton — the construction company his family has built over twenty-five years — giving CDG the permits and delivery infrastructure others cannot secure. In Crete, land passes through families, not through the market; without a trusted local partner, the island is effectively closed.

Kevin Tang has spent over a decade leading his own marketing agency in Canada, crafting high-performance campaigns for globally recognised brands including Warner Music, Ford, and MINI Cooper — building an elite command of lead generation, audience targeting, and digital strategy.

Execution discipline.
Most outsiders can find interest in Crete. Very few can actually develop at speed. CDG's advantage is vertical integration — sourcing, permitting, design, construction, advisory, and asset management inside a single chain of accountability, anchored by Tekton.
Capabilities
Six capabilities. One chain of accountability.
CDG brings together sourcing, permitting, design, construction, advisory, hospitality, and asset management inside one development company. That means fewer broken handoffs, tighter cost control, and stronger delivery discipline across every stage of the project lifecycle.
01
Land sourcing
Site selection and position assembly across Crete, including off-market access.
02
Permitting
Approvals navigation, local authority relationships, zoning and compliance.
03
Design
Architectural and landscape design coordination with trusted Greek and international firms.
04
Construction
Delivery through Tekton, CDG's in-house construction company, with 25+ years in Crete.
05
Advisory
Investor-facing advisory on sourcing, structuring, and execution of Cretan opportunities.

Why Crete, right now.
The last major Mediterranean coastline still repricing before its full access catalyst. The investment thesis behind CDG's development pipeline.
01
The Infrastructure Catalyst
Airport capacity expanding from 6M to 18M by 2028. Motorway investment reshaping accessibility. The island is moving from undervalued to strategically unavoidable.
02
The Demand Profile
Cross-border buyers — European, North American, and Middle Eastern — seeking residences in the Mediterranean's most undersupplied premium market.
03
Supply Constraint
Limited developable coastline, strict planning environment, and restricted construction zones create durable pricing pressure on premium product.
04
Execution Risk
Most outsiders struggle in Crete. CDG's moat is local relationships, in-house construction through Tekton, and a delivery model built on decades of presence.
