• “While Crescent Resources is relatively new to the student development space, they really did their homework.  They brought in a best-in-class student housing management company (Greystar) early in the process to aid in the design consulting and to ultimately manage an extremely successful lease up,” said Epp –with ARA.

• "Historically Greystar has served us well as the property manager of our conventional multifamily real estate assets, so it was natural that we asked Greystar Student Living to assist us develop our first "purpose-built" student community. GSL assisted us with our proforma budget, marketing plan, site and floor plan development, low voltage program and overall set up of operations and staffing for our lease up. Their student expertise and overall operational proficiencies have been instrumental to our project."

• "...and after deciding we needed to furnish the efficiency in order to start moving units, she jumped right on it without hesitation. Mind you, it was Friday afternoon, but she took some pictures, made a list, grabbed another talented co-worker, rented a truck, spent hours at Ikea, and by Sunday night sent me a message that it was done and that everyone loves it! I did see it later, and I concur... it was perfect for the student renters we were after. It's this dedication and commitment to the property's success that reassures me that I've chosen the right operating partners."

• Greystar has managed a high-rise student housing asset for us since 2009. The project was mired with multiple construction issues and terribly mismanaged by the prior management company. Since Greystar's involvement, we've seen dramatic year over year improvement with over a 20% improvement in occupancy over the prior period. In addition, we've realized nearly a 30% increase in income over the same period on a same store basis. The Greystar team has exceeded our expectations and we couldn't be more thrilled with their execution. We look forward to continuing our business relationship and would highly recommend their group for future assignments.

• Greystar Student Living took over management of The Element in Sacramento California in March of 2010 in what was a very challenging operating environment. The property was suffering from low occupancy due to continued headwinds from the economic slowdown and some legacy reputational issues. Greystar jumped in and drew up an aggressive marketing re-branding and pricing plan which was clearly communicated to ownership for review, input and approval. This allowed for quick and energetic implementation at the site level resulting in occupancy being driven to 96% in the fall of 2011. In addition, we realized a 45% increase in total income, and 125% increase in NOI. This is an exceptional result and we are looking forward to teaming with Greystar on future Student Living investments.
