CP Group announced that Christopher “Tex” Cauthen has joined the firm as Senior Vice President. He will be based in Dallas and lead CP Group’s acquisitions, developments, and operations in key Southwest markets, including Texas, Colorado, and Arizona.

Cauthen brings over two decades of leadership and industry expertise to the organization, with a proven track record in acquisitions, asset management, capital markets, and development. As CP Group grows and diversifies its portfolio, Cauthen’s role as Senior Vice President and market lead will play an integral role in expanding the firm’s footprint throughout the Southwest region. He will also oversee Granite Tower, a 600,000-square-foot, 31-floor office building that marked CP Group’s entry into the Denver market in 2021.

“Tex’s strategic investment approach and deep expertise in Southwestern market dynamics make him an ideal addition to our team,” said Angelo Bianco, Managing Partner of CP Group. “As we continue expanding our footprint, his leadership will be instrumental in identifying strategic opportunities and repositioning assets to align with market demand.”

Cauthen joins CP Group from Hardwood International in Dallas, where he served as Vice President of Acquisitions and Capital Markets. During his tenure there, he closed $900 million in transactions and oversaw a portfolio of more than two million square feet of existing Class AA office space as well as a four-million-square-foot development pipeline. Previously, Cauthen also served as Executive Director and National Office Practices Leader at Cushman & Wakefield, leading strategic initiatives, transactional activities and production efforts.

“I am eager to bring my experience in acquisitions, asset management, and capital markets to CP Group and help drive the firm’s strategic expansion throughout the Southwest,” said Cauthen. “CP Group has a strong track record of investment excellence and market leadership, and I look forward to contributing to its national growth.”
