BentallGreenOak is a real estate investment firm based Toronto and New York City. The firm is the real estate investment arm of Sun Life Financial.[3] It is considered one of the largest real estate investment firms in North America.[4]

In 2022, the firm was ranked by PERE (under Private Equity International) as the seventh largest Private Equity Real Estate firm based on total fundraising over the most recent five-year period.[5]

Background

BentallGreenOak is the result of a merger between two firms, Bentall Kennedy and GreenOak Real Estate that occured in 2019. [1][6][7][8]

Bentall Kennedy was a Canadian real estate investment firm that was a subsidiary of Sun Life Financial.[6][7]

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. [9]

In 2019, Sun Life Financial acquired a 56% stake in GreenOak Real Estate by paying $195 million in cash.[7] Then Sun Life merged the two firms to form BentallGreenOak. Bentall Kennedy CEO, Gary Whitelaw would become CEO of the new entity.[1][6][8]

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. [9][10][11]

Investments

Disputes

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.[21] The court ruled in favour of BentallGreenOak resulting in East End Capital's side being required to pay back a $5.5 million deposit.[21]
