John M. Creedon

John (Jack) Creedon, a partner and global co-head of Ropes & Gray’s real estate investments and transactions group, represents real estate private equity funds, hedge funds, REITs, university endowments and other institutional investors in a wide variety of real estate transactional matters, including joint ventures and co-investments, real estate debt financings, distressed debt purchases and debt restructurings, complex acquisitions and dispositions, leasing (including sale-leasebacks) and ground-up development. Jack also advises clients across industries and asset classes on real estate issues arising from the COVID-19 outbreak, including borrowers, lenders, landlords and tenants.

Creedon has experience both domestically and internationally and has represented clients in transactions in Europe, Asia and throughout the US. He has represented many of the world’s leading real estate private equity and hedge fund sponsors and other investors, including:

• A global investment manager in joint venture investments and joint venture and real estate fund recapitalizations involving more than $3 billion of senior living, industrial, office, hospitality and multi-family real estate assets located throughout the US.
• An international private bank in connection with its $180 million anchor equity investment in a real estate joint venture to develop a new Four Seasons luxury hotel and condominium project in Boston. The $750 million project is one of the largest developments currently underway in Boston.

Creedon also works with Pine Street Inn, a national leader in the fight to end homelessness, on various real estate pro bono matters.

These are some of the reasons that we named Creedon to our Boston & New England grouping of Lawyers in Real Estate. These are real estate attorneys who have distinguished themselves in both their practice and the larger community.
