History[edit]

Founded in 1993 by chairman and CEO Bob Faith, and headquartered in Charleston, South Carolina, Greystar has over 22,200 employees [7] and 66 offices representing 224 markets in the US, Europe, Latin America, South America and Asia-Pacific region.[8]

The company began operating in the UK in 2013.[9] In July 2017, Greystar announced it would acquire Monogram Residential Trust's 14,000-unit portfolio of 49 rental communities in ten states, for $3 billion.[10]

In June 2018, Greystar announced that it would acquire EdR, a manager of college housing communities in the US, for $4.6 billion.[11]

In 2019, the company was sued for violating consumer protection laws. In a Los Angeles County Superior Court filing, Greystar was charged with gathering extensive personal identifying information about its tenants without their knowledge or consent. At five Greystar-owned apartment buildings, the company collected information about its tenants' "character" and "general reputation."[12] In 2021, the firm's business model was alleged to be adding to Ireland's housing crisis.[13]

Greystar acquired the property management arm of Alliance Residential Co. in June 2020,[14] and in October 2020, Greystar acquired 45% of Thackeray Partners.[15] That December, Greystar partnered with Walker & Dunlop and Project Destined to create a paid internship program for students from diverse backgrounds in Durham, North Carolina.[16] Greystar and Project Destined expanded their partnership to students at South Carolina State University in 2022.[17]

In March 2021, Greystar, along with partners Ivanhoé Cambridge and Bouwinvest, announced a $1.1 billion joint venture to develop and acquire housing for students and young professionals in the greater Paris area[18] and joint venture in multifamily housing in Chile.[19] Greystar acquired the rest of Thackeray Partners in May 2021[20][21] and partnered with the University of South Carolina to create a $210 million campus village.[22] Greystar also announced a partnership with CPP Investment Board to pursue life sciences development with a $74 million office and lab in Somerville, Massachusetts,[23] as well as a joint venture to develop and acquire single-family and multifamily rental communities.[24][25] In November, the company announced an additional $600 million investment in more student housing development, with partnerships with the University of Maryland, College Park and the University of Texas at Austin.[26] In December 2021, Greystar acquired Fizzy Living[27] and began expanding its presence in the industrial sector.[28]

Greystar secured roughly $883 million of investments in June 2021 to expand in major cities across Europe.[29] By July 2022, the Greystar Equity Partners Europe I fund had attracted €1.55 billion ($1.57 billion) and its portfolio included 22 properties in six countries.[1] In 2023, Greystar continued its expansion, including a green 21-story luxury building in Chicago,[30] a mixed use complex in downtown Austin with 42 total stories.[31], and acquiring the London Olympic Site for conversion to rental units.[32] In March of 2023, Greystar announced the creation of an affordable housing brand, Ltd by Greystar.[33]

In 2021, the National Multifamily Housing Council ranked Greystar the #1 largest apartment manager,[34] #6 largest apartment owner,[35] #1 largest developer,[36] and #6 largest builder.[37] In 2022, Greystar operated in 13 countries,[38] including China, France, Germany, Ireland, Mexico, the Netherlands, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States.[39]
