Greystone Communities

What Greystone Communities does

Greystone Communities is a privately held, Texas-based (Irving) professional services firm founded in 1982 that serves the U.S. senior living industry exclusively, with a footprint across 43 states and 500+ organizations served over its history. The company operates an integrated four-service platform — Advisory/Consulting, Development, Marketing, and Management — supporting continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs), single-site operators, and multi-campus systems across the full project lifecycle from strategic planning through real estate development, pre-sales and occupancy execution, and ongoing operational management.

The underlying "technology" is process- and methodology-based rather than software-based: proprietary benchmarking drawn from 150+ communities developed, 40,000+ units marketed, and $10B+ in client project financing facilitated. The firm employs 101–250 staff organized around functional service lines (planning & financial services, development services, marketing services, management services) under Co-CEOs Mark Andrews and John Spooner and President Brad Straub. There is no disclosed proprietary software platform; recent activity has focused on embedding third-party AI tooling via a 2026 partnership with Meela, Inc.

Greystone makes money through diversified professional services revenue streams: project-based or retainer advisory fees, real estate development oversight fees, sales and marketing service retainers, and recurring management fees on 50+ currently managed communities. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting C-suite executives, boards, and owners of senior living organizations, supplemented by industry event presence (notably LeadingAge, where Greystone holds 2025 Gold Partner status) and a case-study-driven content marketing motion. Customer base is concentrated in non-profit senior living operators, with multi-decade anchor relationships (RiverWoods Group since 1994, Presbyterian Manors of Mid-America 20+ years).
