Commercial Observer: 2025 Power Investors feat. Steve Reents
Steve Reents, Deputy Head of U.S. and Chief Investment Officer at BGO, has consistently turned market uncertainty into opportunity. With over two decades at BGO—spanning both before and after the Bentall Kennedy–GreenOak merger—Reents has overseen investment strategy and performance across office, industrial, and residential sectors. He remains focused on expanding BGO’s presence across asset classes, maintaining an assertive investment posture even in volatile conditions, and pursuing high-potential opportunities through key institutional partnerships.
A large portion of BGO’s activity under Reents has centered around data centers and logistics infrastructure. The firm has prioritized strategic market selection and disciplined pricing, particularly through its core-plus fund that focuses on temperature-controlled logistics like cold storage. Reents emphasizes that BGO’s forward-looking investment strategy is guided by strong thematic conviction in areas such as data centers, cold storage, traditional logistics, and medical infrastructure—industries considered resilient and promising amid today’s evolving landscape.
