Calfee congratulates its client, Century Park Capital Partners, on the launch of Green Summit Landscape Group, Inc., a newly formed platform created to build a full-service landscape, snow, and water management organization in the United States, anchored by the acquisitions of R&D Landscape and LandMark Landscape.
Founded in Lansing, Michigan, and led by an experienced management team, R&D Landscape has developed a strong reputation among commercial and luxury residential clients through decades of service excellence, operational discipline, and a people-first culture. R&D's founders and leadership team have retained meaningful ownership and will continue to lead the business as part of Green Summit.
In connection with the platform launch, Green Summit also completed the acquisition of LandMark Landscape, a highly respected Michigan-based landscaping firm founded more than 40 years ago. The combination of R&D Landscape and LandMark strengthens Green Summit's presence in the Midwest and provides customers and employees with access to expanded scale, enhanced capabilities, and additional resources.
Century Park's investment reflects its strategy of partnering with founder-led, service-driven businesses that demonstrate strong leadership, exceptional reputations, and cultures built around people and customers. Through Green Summit, Century Park aims to support continued growth while preserving the local culture and operating philosophies, ensuring continued value for customers and opportunities for employees.
Calfee was pleased to represent Century Park Capital Partners in this transaction. The Calfee legal team was led by Co-Chair of Calfee's Corporate and Finance Practice and Partner Brent M. Pietrafese and Partner Brian A. McMahon, and included Associate Attorneys Anthony J. (Tony) Cox and Stephen Carpinello.
