Background

[edit | edit source]

Rockpoint was founded in 2003 by Bill Walton, Greg Hartman, Jonathan Paul, Keith Gelb and Pat Fox.[1][2][6][7] The five of them were previously managing members of Westbrook Real Estate Partners who left to found the firm.[1][2][7] Westbrook Real Estate Partners was co-founded by Walton in 1994 and continued to be controlled by him and Gelb until 2014 where the firm closed.[2][6][7] Currently only Walton and Gelb remain with Rockpoint.[2] Paul left in 2007 to co-found Wheelock Street Capital,[6][8] Hartman left in 2013 to co-found Prospect Hill[9] and Fox retired from the firm.[10]

In March 2018, Blackstone Inc. acquired a 20% stake in Rockpoint.[11][12][13]

In October 2020, Rockpoint formed a $1 billion joint venture with Invitation Homes to buy, renovate and rent out single-family homes across the U.S.[14][15] In March 2022, they formed another joint venture worth $300 million to acquire higher-end single-family homes.[16]

In May 2022, Rockpoint formed a $2 billion industrial real estate platform with a wholly owned subsidiary of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority.[17][18]

Rockpoint is headquartered in Boston with additional offices in Dallas, London and San Francisco.[19]

Rockpoint has an affiliate named Rockhill Management which is a dedicated property services management company.[20]

Disputes

[edit | edit source]

In November 2019, tenants of 63 Wall Street and 67 Wall Street in Manhattan filed a class-action lawsuit against Rockpoint over alleged rent-regulation violations.[1][37][38] Rockpoint was alleged to have failed to follow the 421-g program which allowed it to forgo property taxes but required it to offer rent-regulated leases.[1][37][38] Rockpoint was considered to have overcharged above the lease limits while still benefiting from tax breaks.[1][37][38] In September 2020, Rockpoint reached a settlement where it would pay out $5 million to 4,800 current and former tenants.[1][37][38]
