History

Founded in 1993 by chairman and CEO Bob Faith, and headquartered in Charleston, South Carolina, Greystar has over 14,000 employees,[5] and 51 offices in the US, Europe, Latin America and Asia-Pacific region.

The company began operating in the UK in 2013.[6] 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.[7]

In June 2018, Greystar announced that it would acquire EdR, a manager of college housing communities in the US, for $4.6 billion.[8]

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."[9]

In 2022, Greystar operated in nine countries: China, France, Germany, Ireland, Mexico, the Netherlands, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States.[2]
