Longtime investment executive Madison Tappan has been appointed chief investment officer at Dallas-based multifamily investment firm Knightvest Capital,
Tappan will oversee Knightvest’s acquisition strategy and lead efforts to expand the firm’s multifamily portfolio in key Sun Belt markets. The firm said he will play a pivotal role in deploying 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.
“Madison’s proven track record, deep knowledge of the multifamily sector, and strong leadership make him the ideal person to guide our investment strategy,” David Moore, founder and CEO of Knightvest Capital, said in a statement. “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.”
Knightvest said that Tappan brings a wealth of experience to the role.
Most recently, he was 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’ U.S. Real Estate team, overseeing that firm’s multifamily equity investments across the Southeastern and Southwestern United States. Tappan began his real estate career at Knightvest in 2014, where he held multiple roles, including director of investor relations.
“It’s a privilege to step into the CIO role at such an exciting time for Knightvest,” Tappan said in a statement. “I look forward to building on Knightvest’s strong track record by identifying compelling investment opportunities that deliver long-term value for our investors and strengthen the communities we serve.”
As a vertically integrated firm, Knightvest specializes in renovating and repositioning multifamily properties. Since its founding in 2007, Knightvest has invested over $10 billion to acquire over 60,000 units across high-growth metro areas in Texas, Arizona, the Carolinas, and Florida to become one of the largest apartment owners in the United States.
