As managing director and head of capital markets at Cottonwood Group, Tang Tang oversees the firm’s global capital market execution and strategies. He is also the firm’s youngest managing director, a promotion he achieved at the end of 2024, and a voting member of the firm’s investment committee.
Tang’s work has been instrumental in establishing and growing Cottonwood Group’s fundraising presence, particularly in South Korea. Since 2018, he has built a fundraising platform in Korea that has resulted in more than $300 million in investments and capital commitments from Korean investors. This includes a $50 million commitment in late 2024 for Cottonwood Group’s current fund. Notably, Tang facilitated the cornerstone investment in Cottonwood’s more than one-million square-foot EchelonSeaport development in Boston, marking the first investment in an under-construction greenfield development by a Korean asset management firm.
Tang works closely with Cottonwood chairman and CEO Alexander Shing, spearheading fundraising efforts that have brought in more than $800 million in commitments and investments since 2021. He has raised $2.2 billion for private equity real estate during his career. Tang is leading the fundraising for Cottonwood Group’s latest fund, launched in late 2023 with a target of $500 million, which is expected to be oversubscribed by Q2 2025. He has also expanded the capital markets team at Cottonwood Group from one to five members.
Beyond his work at Cottonwood, from 2016 to 2020, Tang co-founded and ran the Chinese-Canadian Leaders Foundation, helping Chinese-Canadian students excel in their academic pursuits and careers.
