Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc.

Kennedy Wilson is a global real estate investment company headquartered in Beverly Hills, California. Founded in 1977, the company's core business involves investing in, owning, and operating real estate, as well as managing capital for its partners. Its mission centers on enhancing real estate value through strategic asset management, redevelopment, and repositioning, particularly in high-barrier markets across the Western United States, the United Kingdom, and Ireland.

The company's key activities span multiple real estate sectors, with a significant focus on multifamily rental housing, including both market-rate and affordable units, and student housing. Kennedy Wilson also engages in office leasing, hotel operations, and the acquisition and financing of industrial assets. Additionally, it provides investment management, co-investment services, property management, and real estate debt solutions. The company holds an equity ownership interest in over 40,000 multifamily units and is financing 30,000 units of new construction.

In a significant corporate development, Kennedy Wilson completed a take-private transaction on June 16, 2026. A consortium led by Chairman and CEO William J. McMorrow, in partnership with Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited, acquired the company, resulting in its common stock ceasing trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Fairfax Financial now holds a majority economic interest, while the KW Management Group retains operational control. The company manages over $31 billion in assets, and its real estate debt investment platform reached $7 billion in originations as of March 2024.
