TCR vs. Greystar
Looking at entry level analyst roles and would like to get people’s thoughts on reputation, culture, and experience.
As someone who would like to learn as many facets of the development process as possible, I have heard greystar runs lean but not too familiar with tcr.
also in terms of brand it seems that greystar has risen to become the premier developer, but I am unsure which company would yield the best learning experience.
Any thoughts from people with knowledge on both companies?
TCR is a GP developer using the Crow family's balance sheet and other investors to fund their deals. Their offices are very regional and operate pretty autonomously. You would learn a ton from those people.
Greystar also plays in the same product type. However, you could be an analyst with them for the following: Acquisitions/Investments, Portfolio, Development, or part of their new Asset Management platform.
This is honestly too broad a question for me to answer. Could you provide more specifics about the roles you want? If it's an analyst role and you want development, then I really don't think you can beat learning from the TCR people. However, Greystar is a great name too.
applying to development analyst roles rn. Why would you say one versus the other?
Personal choice: TCR. I think they're basically a university for CRE haha.
But, Greystar is great too and would take that over basically anyone else sans TCR for MF.
Both will be very competitive gigs to land though.
Both are great. You should pursue both. Unless you have offers from both, I wouldn't worry about which is better.
Both are national players with robust pipelines and deep pockets. Both have great LP / Lender relationships. They both employ smart people and the cultures seem similar but that will be highly dependent on the team you're on. You really can't go wrong either way. Not sure who pays more.
Thoughts on Brookfield vs Greystar vs Hines? Just in terms of rep, culture, exit opps. Know they're all sick shops.
Lol I Dunno if you’re serious but Hines takes the cake
Those firms ARE the exit ops!
Both have good reputations but being part of the development team at TCR definitely carries more prestige/firepower in a future exit opps context.
Bump
I worked at Greystar, I enjoyed my time there. Would recommend, great leadership and great contacts in the industry and the name brand in institutional CRE is fantastic.
Can't go wrong with it. Can't speak for TCR.
What caused you to leave?
Anyone know the comp for Analyst & Associate at TCR?
Anyone?
This is very market based. Huge swings depending on market.
Can you opine on this a little bit? Any ranges?
Greystar. Phenomenal rep, very aggressive, great capital partner relationships
I mean I'd rather work with the TCR team in my market. That's how it works with these corporate dev shops. It all varies market to market
What market
TCR is a merchant builder. Business will be very slow in the near term as the markets work themselves out and fed policy becomes more clear. Greystar, depending on the role, could provide greater job security as they actively buy and develop vs purely develop.
Anyone know the hours for TCR/Greystar at the analyst/associate level?
Highly depends on the culture of the regional office you join
Can you speak more to that? Or like a rough average?
