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.

Key strategies & advantages

  • Operates the world's largest apartment management/ownership/development platform.
  • Manages ~$320 billion in real estate, scale no dedicated DST sponsor approaches.
  • Fully vertically integrated develop-own-manage globally, capturing economics at every stage.
  • Maintains a global multifamily footprint across the US, Europe and Latin America.
  • Brought that scale into the 1031 channel via its 2025 DST partnership with Trilogy.
These describe the sponsor’s approach and potential advantages only, and should be weighed against the risks common to DST investments — illiquidity, loss of principal, and no guaranteed distributions. Full risk factors are in each offering’s Private Placement Memorandum.
