History

Bentall Kennedy and GreenOak Real Estate merged to form BentallGreenOak in 2019.[1][7][8][9]

Bentall Kennedy was a Canadian real estate investment firm that was a subsidiary of Sun Life Financial[7][8] and GreenOak Real Estate was an American private equity real estate firm established in 2010 with its seed capital being provided by the Tetragon Financial Group.[10]

In 2019, Sun Life Financial acquired a 56% stake in GreenOak Real Estate by paying $195 million in cash.[8] Then Sun Life merged the two firms to form BentallGreenOak. Bentall Kennedy's CEO, Gary Whitelaw became CEO of the new entity.[1][7][9]

In 2020, Whitelaw resigned from his position as CEO and was replaced by GreenOak Real Estate co-founders, Sonny Kalsi and John Carrafiell who are currently serving as co-CEOs.[10][11][12]

East End Capital and a pair of Australian investors filed a lawsuit against BentallGreenOak after they pulled out from a deal to purchase a Miami office tower.[13] The court ruled in favour of BentallGreenOak in 2021, resulting in East End Capital's side being required to pay back a $5.5 million deposit.[13]
