Deals in build-to-rent market ready for lift-off, says US giant

Deal-making in build-to-rent developments could take off within months as more projects are completed, leased up and join the rapidly emerging sector for the new housing form, according to one of the sector’s biggest players.

US property giant Greystar has been one of the lead players in the nascent sector, with about 1900 units under construction, worth around $2.3 billion. It has another 600 units in the pipeline valued at $400 million.
