Greystar
Overview
Greystar is the world's largest apartment manager, owner and developer, with roughly $320 billion in real estate AUM and a fully vertically integrated develop-own-manage model spanning the globe. Its 2025 DST partnership with Trilogy brings that operating scale—and unrivaled multifamily data and execution—into the 1031 channel. For exchangers, the draw is best-in-class apartment operations at institutional scale; Greystar's edge is operational depth that no dedicated DST sponsor can approach.
