Knightvest Capital, a Dallas-headquartered multifamily investment firm, announced the promotion Madison Tappan to chief investment officer.
In this role, Tappan will oversee Knightvest’s acquisition strategy and lead efforts to expand the firm’s multifamily portfolio in key Sun Belt markets. He will also play a key role in the allocation of capital from Knightvest’s second investment fund, launched in 2024, with a focus on acquiring 2000s-era properties and renovating them to a standard comparable to new construction.
Tappan most recently served as managing director of acquisitions at Knightvest, focusing on new investment opportunities in the Dallas–Fort Worth area. Before that, he was a vice president in Goldman Sachs’ US real estate team, overseeing the firm’s multifamily equity investments across the Southeastern and Southwestern markets. Madison began his real estate career at Knightvest in 2014, where he held multiple roles, including director of investor relations.
“Madison’s proven track record, deep knowledge of the multifamily sector, and strong leadership make him the ideal person to guide our investment strategy,” said David Moore, founder and CEO of Knightvest Capital. “As we enter the next phase of our growth journey, Madison will be instrumental in advancing our mission to create communities of excellence and deliver dependable, market-leading returns.”
