Greystar hires ex-Samsung SRA manager to launch Seoul office

Greystar Real Estate Partners, the largest housing investment firm in the US, has hired Kang Junghwan, former managing director and head of portfolio management at Samsung SRA Asset Management Co., to lead its first office in South Korea.

The property giant plans to open the Seoul office in July, aiming to tap into South Korea’s expanding rental housing market amid a surge in single- and two-person households.
