ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CP Group, a leading owner-operator of office properties throughout the Sunbelt, today announced that Bilal Manzoor, formerly of Goldman Sachs, has joined the firm as Vice President. He will be based in Atlanta and lead CP Group’s acquisitions in key Southeast markets, including Atlanta, Charlotte, Nashville, and Raleigh.

As CP Group continues to grow and diversify its robust portfolio, the firm is expanding its team to sustain and accelerate momentum. Manzoor’s role as Vice President will be instrumental in identifying new acquisition opportunities, deepening its regional expertise, and strengthening its investment platform.

Most recently, he served as Vice President in the Investment Banking Division at Goldman Sachs in New York, where he advised industrial and Technology clients on M&A and debt and equity capital markets. Prior to Goldman Sachs, he was an Associate at Deutsche Bank. During his tenure in investment banking, he advised on and executed billions in M&A and financing transactions, ranging from hundreds of millions to over $50 billion in enterprise value.

"CP Group’s proven track record, history of excellence, and prestigious reputation made it the ideal place for me to bring my financial experience to the commercial real estate market,” said Manzoor. “I look forward to leveraging my execution experience in Investment Banking with this exceptional team and amplifying CP Group's business pipeline across the Southeast.”
