About Greystar
Corporate Overview & History
Greystar Real Estate Partners was founded in 1993 by CEO Bob Faith in Austin, Texas. Starting as a single‑family rental management firm, the company rapidly expanded into multifamily, student housing, senior living, and mixed‑use development. Today Greystar is the world’s largest operator of apartments, managing over 800,000 units across the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia‑Pacific. The firm’s core mission is to create vibrant, sustainable communities where residents can thrive, while delivering superior returns for investors.
Greystar entered the Indian market in 2015, recognizing the country’s accelerating urbanisation and the growing demand for professionally managed residential assets. The Indian subsidiary, Greystar India, operates out of four major hubs—Bangalore, Hyderabad, Mumbai, and Delhi NCR—providing development, asset management, and leasing services for domestic and foreign investors.
Core Business Operations & Divisions

- Property Management: Oversees day‑to‑day operations, leasing, maintenance, and resident services for a portfolio of over 800,000 units.
In India, the Development division collaborates with local architects and construction firms to deliver projects such as “The Residences” in Bangalore and “Greystar Sky” in Hyderabad. The Asset Management and Property Management teams are housed in technology‑enabled centres that leverage Greystar’s proprietary SaaS platform, Greystar Operations Suite, to drive data‑driven decision‑making.
Key technology hubs in India include:
