The Greystar Story

In 1993, when Founder, Chairman, and CEO Bob Faith set out to build Greystar, he envisioned the need for a rental housing industry leader — a blue-chip company that operated with the highest integrity and character in delivering world-class services to residents, property owners, and investors.

With a winning strategy and a focus on people, Greystar continues to meet that need, guided by the Mission of enriching the lives we touch by doing things the right way.

Over the years, Greystar has learned what’s important to people when it comes to a place to call home. That’s why we continually strive to provide beautiful living environments and innovative services that enhance the living experience. We take pride in knowing that our homes are inviting places for residents to celebrate life’s important moments.

What Sets Us Apart

At Greystar, we care about our residents, clients, and partners – and it shows. Our focus on people, genuine relationships, and shared values has created a unique and defining company culture.

Our team members are key to that culture, so we also strive to hire the best people in the business. “Our Core Values and our people are at the heart of everything we do,” says Bob. “Though times and technology may change, it’s our people who have made Greystar the global leader in rental housing.”
