## Greystar Opens First Build-for-Rent Community in Houston, Offering Single-Family Homes with Resort-Style Amenities
Greystar, a global leader in the investment, development, and management of real estate, has made its debut in the Houston build-for-rent market with the opening of Summerwell Sunterra. This new community marks Greystar’s first foray into this specific market segment in the Houston area, offering residents the unique opportunity to enjoy the privacy and comfort of single-family homes without the traditional burdens of ownership.
Summerwell, Greystar’s dedicated build-for-rent brand, focuses on developing purpose-built, single-family rental communities across the United States. This approach directly addresses the growing demand for single-family housing options while simultaneously delivering efficient and scalable communities in markets where this type of housing is most needed.
“We’re thrilled to welcome residents to Summerwell Sunterra, offering them the sought-after privacy and comfort of a single-family home, free from the responsibilities of ownership,” said Brian Herwald, Managing Director of development for Greystar. “Residents also enjoy the added advantage of being part of the master-planned Sunterra community, with access to The Retreat Amenity Village and an abundance of other amenities.” Residents can embrace a relaxed lifestyle, whether it’s floating along the lazy river, engaging in a friendly pickleball match, or hosting a barbecue in their private backyard – Summerwell Sunterra provides a daily escape from the ordinary.
