one more small edit request
Hi, sorry for the doubling up here. I've learned that the language in the first sentence of the lead ("build-to-rent multi-occupancy buildings") is rather British-inflected, which is incongruous and unnecessarily confusing for a U.S.-based company. The current wording also implies that Greystar only operates in the U.S., which is inaccurate. Here's a proposed rewrite of that first sentence:  Thanks! Mary Gaulke (talk) 02:19, 21 November 2019 (UTC)


 * A reference has not been provided for the revised wording. References are not usually needed in the lead section, but in this case, the proposed claims do not exist anywhere else in the article. If the Fu-authored coverage of the company's press release is applicable to the revised sentence, kindly provide the verbatim text from Ms. Fu for confirmation. Thank you! Regards, Spintendo  08:11, 21 November 2019 (UTC)


 * Hi! This ref already in the article backs up the claim. The Mattioli source in the article also corroborates. Thanks! Mary Gaulke (talk) 22:13, 24 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi Mary! I have clarified the lead section to indicate that the company is an international real estate manager and developer based in the US, and that the company manages more than 500,000 units/beds of apartment infrastructure in the United States, per the Menear source.
 * The claim to being "the largest operator of apartment infrastructure in the US" does not subscribe to any specific metric which may be used for verification purposes (i.e., the largest how and in what way — either the square acreage of apartments managed, the monetary $$ value of apartments managed, or the cumulative number of apartments managed, etc.). In mentioning the number of units/beds under management, the claim seems to be using that metric to arrive at itself. However, no official numbers of how many apartments are under management in total across the US are offered to buttress this claim. In making that claim, Menear likely arrived at that distinction by way of the company-provided press release which informed a part of their reporting on that particular story. Bottom line, we can use the numbers because those numbers are informative and don't embellish. The other claims are more problematic, and thus I would have been uncomfortable implementing them. Regards, Spintendo  09:08, 25 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Totally understood! I wasn't looking for any kind of "largest" wording; agree that would be WP:PUFF. Thank you! Mary Gaulke (talk) 17:49, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

2022 COI edit requests
Hi! I'm posting here on behalf of Greystar. I'd like to request some updates to this article. The proposed updates are also mocked up here, and I'm open to any other feedback on how to make this easier to review.

Dec. 2023 COI edit request
Hello! COI editor for Greystar here with one new request. In History, add after "Greystar also opened a modular construction factory in Knox, Pennsylvania. ":
 * Greystar's modular apartment venture, Modern Living Solutions, broke ground on its first multifamily project, in Coraopolis, Pennsylvania, in August 2023. The company broke ground on Summerwell Sunterra, a build-to-rent community in the Houston area, in June 2023. As of September 2023, Greystar has acquired or developed 12 communities under its Summerwell brand focused on single-family rentals.

Thanks for your time! Mary Gaulke (talk) 01:17, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Please provide the Wikilinks for the Modern Living Solutions and Summerwell brands. When ready to proceed with the requested information, kindly change the template's answer parameter to read from y to n. Thank you! Regards,  Spintendo  07:47, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi again! Revised per your feedback on your talk page; please let me know if you think this makes sense:
 * Greystar broke ground on its first modular multifamily project, in Coraopolis, Pennsylvania, in August 2023.
 * Thank you! Mary Gaulke (talk) 14:43, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I'm going to respectfully disagree with @Spintendo in this case. I largely agree with the skepticism of listing out acquisitions, etc., by a given company, but fail to see how redlinking non-notable entities is necessary. If Greystar were asking to list a bunch of brands they own in this article, sourced to their website, that would indeed be counter to WP:NOTDIRECTORY. In this case, though, the name of the brand is relevant information and is mentioned in the headline of one of the reliable, independent sources cited here, so I think the original wording is completely acceptable. I've added the original proposal but am happy to further discuss. WhinyTheYounger ※ Talk 17:12, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

Greystar Real Estate Partners → Greystar – Per WP:NCCORP, Greystar is the most common name used for the company – both in their own comms and in independent media coverage, which tends to use the full name only on the first mention. Please note I have a COI; Greystar is a client of mine. Mary Gaulke (talk) 04:28, 18 February 2024 (UTC) The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it.
