“We are delighted to be part of the prestigious St. Regis Residences, Boston as a capital partner alongside Cronin Development,” said Alexander Shing, Chairman and CEO of Cottonwood Group. “Our optimism for Boston is fueled by the triumph of our EchelonSeaport project. The St. Regis Residences, Boston is just one of our many ongoing investments in the city, and we are excited to collaborate with Jon Cronin to sustain the positive momentum that has established the Seaport as one of Boston’s premier living destinations.”

The investment reflects not only the firm’s commitment to the flourishing Boston real estate market, but also its capacity to provide senior financing for large-scale, luxury developments.
