CHICAGO—Mesirow Financial has just decided to beef up its institutional real estate, direct investments team by hiring Tim Strang as vice president of acquisitions and dispositions. In this new role, Strang will handle all aspects of the acquisitions and disposition process, including sourcing, financial analysis, due diligence and underwriting.

Strang brings 16 years of real estate experience to the Chicago-based Mesirow. Previously, he served as vice president of asset management at Redwood Capital Group, where he was responsible for a 25-property, multifamily real estate portfolio. Prior to joining Redwood, Strang held positions at RREEF and State Teachers Retirement System of Ohio.

"Coming to Mesirow is a sort of homecoming for me," says Strang. "I have worked with many of the team members here during my career and have the utmost respect for them and what they have built here at Mesirow. I look forward to being a part of this integral business within the firm's growing alternative investments platform."

"As our business continues to experience significant growth, we are always on the lookout to enhance resources and add top talent to our growing platform,” says Alasdair Cripps, senior managing director of Mesirow. “Bringing Tim onboard will allow us to continue our focus on building a world-class institutional real estate, direct investment business.”
