Greystar is a vertically integrated rental housing company providing property management, investment management, development, and construction services across nearly 250 global markets.
Greystar Management Services, LLC, founded in 1993 by Bob Faith, operates a vertically integrated rental housing platform combining property management, investment management, development, and construction services. The company manages more than $300 billion of real estate across nearly 250 markets in North America, Europe, South America, and Asia-Pacific, and employs over 22,200 people worldwide.
For institutional capital, the investment management business reports $79 billion in assets under management, deployed across multifamily, student housing, active adult, single-family rental, modular housing, and logistics sectors. The development arm holds $36 billion in development assets, while the operating platform manages over 1 million units and beds globally and is the largest operator of apartments in the United States. Integration of management, investment, development, and construction within a single organisation allows returns to be captured at multiple points in the asset lifecycle rather than at a single stage.
Scale of this kind confers operating leverage: a portfolio exceeding one million units and beds supports centralised functions, standardised processes, and market-level data across nearly 250 markets. Sector diversification - spanning conventional multifamily, student housing, single-family rental, modular, and logistics - broadens the investment opportunity set and mitigates concentration in any single residential segment.
Greystar describes its mission as enriching lives "by doing things the right way", with stated commitments to operational excellence, customer satisfaction, and strategic growth. The company positions itself as a partner to institutional investors and to residents across its markets.
