Commercial real estate lender with $100B+ loan portfolio and HUD multifamily focus
Greystone is a debt, equity, and loan-servicing platform for commercial real estate, managing over $100 billion in primary and special servicing across multifamily, healthcare, and senior housing. The tech stack is finance-heavy (Workday, Salesforce, Dynamics 365) with minimal engineering capacity—only 3 active engineering roles against 69 finance positions—suggesting operations and servicing automation are the core technical bets, not product innovation. Active hiring velocity and a portfolio of system-upgrade projects (Workday testing, data integrations, LIHTC platform scaling) indicate infrastructure maturation and internal process complexity.
Greystone underwrites and services commercial real estate debt and equity, specializing in multifamily, healthcare, seniors housing, and student housing across FHA/HUD, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac channels. The firm ranks as the top HUD multifamily lender by commitments and operates a combined loan servicing portfolio exceeding $100 billion. A 2021 joint venture with Cushman & Wakefield extends reach into investment sales and advisory. The organization spans 1,001–5,000 employees across origination, servicing, and transaction advisory functions, headquartered in New York and hiring across the United States, Canada, and India.
Greystone manages a combined primary and special loan servicing portfolio of over $100 billion across multifamily, healthcare, seniors housing, and student housing property types.
