Our many years of experience give us a comprehensive understanding of all phases of development – from land acquisition and project financing to construction and disposition. We pursue land acquisitions through a variety of deal structures, including fee simple, ground lease, land contribution, and joint ventures. Our ability to underwrite and structure diverse land and capital arrangements enables us to consistently deliver rental housing tailored to market needs. With Greystar, you gain a sophisticated and innovative real estate partner who understands the increasingly complex capital environments in which we operate.
Development and Construction Services
Our best-in-class team has expertise in identifying well-located sites, creating value through entitlement, and thoughtful programming. With four current projects in Canada, we focus on consistently delivering rental housing that caters to the market’s needs, all while complementing the surrounding community and having a laser-sharp focus on efficient operations. The Greystar construction team serves as the general contractor on many of our sponsored projects and provides expert construction management on those markets in which we engage a third-party contractor.
