Bentall Kennedy, a Sun Life Investment Management company, and GreenOak Real Estate, a leading global real estate investment management firm, merged into BentallGreenOak. “This combination brings together two successful real estate platforms to create a world class investment manager, supported by the significant resources and long-term stability of Sun Life Investment Management. GreenOak and Bentall Kennedy are two highly complementary firms with virtually no overlap in investment strategies or offices,” said Gary Whitelaw, CEO, Bentall Kennedy. “As members of the combined leadership team have worked together before, and given our extensive discussions over many months, we believe we share very similar investment practices, underwriting discipline, and client-centric cultures."
