Global property leader Greystar has finalized the closing of its second pan-European value-add residential fund at over €2.7 billion. The pool of capital represents the largest of its type ever raised for the continent's rental sector. Backed by institutional investors, the vehicle equips the firm with an investment capacity exceeding €6.8 billion to target structural housing shortages across major European cities.
Construction has commenced on Aspen at Greenleigh, a $148 million premium apartment scheme in Middle River, Maryland. The joint venture between St. John Properties and Somerset Companies will introduce 335 high-specification homes by late 2027. Notably, the development is on track to become North America's largest green Insulated Concrete Form structure, setting a new benchmark for regional urban development.
