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?

 

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. 

 

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.
