INNOVATIVE FINANCING

Greystar is well positioned to collaborate with our university partners to determine the most suitable financing structure to balance student affordability, long-term cost of capital, and impact on institutional credit. As a privately owned company, we have the autonomy and flexibility to successfully execute any transaction structure, including using our own equity, third-party equity, tax-exempt bonds, and university financing.

Since 2000, Greystar has financed and executed over sixty P3 projects with a total transaction volume exceeding $3.6 billion. These transactions include:

  • $1.3 billion financed with equity or an equity/debt combination through The ONE Planâ„

  • $400 million self-financed by our University partner with Greystar acting as a fee developer

Our commitment is to remain flexible and explore all financing options that we and our partner believe will add value and serve to advance financial objectives.
