Gary Kerr joined Greystar in 2019 as managing director of development in the Northeast. In those six years, Kerr has helped transform Everett, a city just five miles outside of Boston, from a historic industrial city into a blossoming mixed-use community.
Greystar has built more than 1,900 units in Everett, and it just broke ground on another 416-unit building in the city this summer even as high interest rates and construction costs have slowed development across the country.
“We had a lot of conviction in the market when I think a lot of others didn’t. We saw the opportunity to create housing at scale. That’s what we do.”
