Case Study: Guild Mortgage achieves a timely, cost-effective Salmon Creek branch transformation with Cresa Project Management

Guild Engages Cresa’s PM Team to Transform New Branch in Salmon Creek

Guild Mortgage, a leading independent residential mortgage lender, sought to expand into the West Vancouver, WA sub-market with a new 3,400 sq. ft. branch but had limited out‑of‑pocket budget and excess furniture to reuse. They engaged Cresa for Project Management and Transaction Management to deliver a cost‑effective, timely tenant improvement that would align with their existing East Vancouver standards.

Cresa’s project management team (Blake St. Onge, James Vietzke, Sean Connors) provided value‑engineered design options, managed bidding and contractor selection, and leveraged Guild’s existing furniture and vendor relationships while coordinating local approvals. Cresa’s approach produced a warm, consistent branch environment that met budget goals and opened for business several weeks ahead of the original timeline.
