History 

Bentall Kennedy and GreenOak Real Estate merged to form BentallGreenOak in 2019. Bentall Kennedy was a Canadian real estate investment firm that was a subsidiary of Sun Life Financial 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. In 2019, Sun Life Financial acquired a 56% stake in GreenOak Real Estate by paying $195 million in cash. Then Sun Life merged the two firms to form BentallGreenOak. Bentall Kennedy's CEO, Gary Whitelaw became CEO of the new entity. 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. 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. 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. Investments
