Ehrenberg's departure comes approximately three weeks after Grubb & Ellis completed its merger with NNN Realty Advisors, a deal that included the relocation of the company's headquarters to Santa Ana. With the merger, former NNN chief Peters took the helm of the merged entity, with former Grubb & Ellis CEO Mark Rose due to leave the organization following a transition period.
In a statement, Peters called Ehrenberg, "a key contributor to the success of Grubb & Ellis for more than 10 years," commenting that, "We are extremely appreciative of her efforts, and wish her all of the best in her future endeavors."
The decades-plus relationship was not without its bumps in the road, however, and as GlobeSt.com reported then, in a 2002 lawsuit, Ehrenberg sought to establish that she was protected by an executive change-of-control plan in effect at Grubb at the time and designed to protect key executives in case the company's ownership structure shifted. The lawsuit, which the parties settled in 2003, followed a series of management and ownership changes at Grubb, where Ehrenberg shared the company presidency (with John G. Orrico from May 2000 to May 2001). Further details of the settlement were not revealed. In 2004, Ehrenberg was promoted from EVP in charge of the firm's management-services subsidiary to become president of global client services.
Taylor joined Grubb in 2005 as executive vice president and regional managing director of corporate services. He was named president of the corporate services group in October 2007.
