About Us
Chris Mooney
Chris Mooney began his career in Finance specializing in the Technology, Media & Telecommunications sector, working in both New York and Boston. Chris and his partners have developed comprehensive winning corporate strategies with significant shareholder value enhancements focused on companies such as IBM, Nextel, Virgin Media, RCN and Sirius/XM Satellite Radio. These strategic efforts crossed all functions, including product strategy, marketing channels, sales, I/T, networks, back office and all overhead support groups, and were focused on driving efficiency and revenue growth.
This experience in business and the world of asset management and banking would prove to be invaluable to a new venture, Cobble Creek Builders North America, Inc., a real estate investment and development company focused in Westchester & Suffolk counties in New York. The initial area of investment moved from high-end custom building to acquiring poorly managed and struggling real estate assets in otherwise prosperous areas with all-cash offers via equity contributions, adding significant value to the properties, and then marketing them in a very focused and specific way to get the asset sold quickly and at a high rate of return. Chris and his partners’ portfolio consisted of over $50 Million of property in Westchester, NY, and $30 Million in Southampton, NY.
Chris then established Cider Moon Investment Group LLC to bring his experience in business and real estate to help drive the value of residential & commercial real estate investments for his partners, investors, and communities. CMIG now has a portfolio of Multi-Family and Development properties in Georgia, North Carolina, Wyoming, Texas, Tennessee, Louisiana and Alabama.
Chris earned his undergraduate degree in Finance from the University of Notre Dame and holds an M.B.A. from the W.P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University.
