VALUE-ADD

Greystar focuses on well-located but often mismanaged apartment communities at discounts to replacement costs that exhibit significant value-add potential. Greystar value-add vehicles invest in markets with strong fundamentals where employment growth drives household formation and high barriers-to-entry limit supply. These strategies seek to provide investors with the opportunity to participate in significant value creation through strategic capital improvements and operational upside.
