Most deals that fall apart had motivated buyers, a sellable asset, and a willing seller. What they didn't have was a team that could hold it together.
Greysteel deploys 150+ capital markets professionals alongside a proprietary investor database to move deals from mandate to close with speed and certainty. One integrated team handles investment sales, debt, and equity. No handoffs, no gaps.

Supportive Preservation
NYC Launches Program to Preserve Aging Supportive Housing Stock
NYC is committing new resources to preserve aging supportive housing properties, helping operators fund major building upgrades while protecting affordable homes for residents at risk of homelessness.
By the numbers: HPD's new Supportive Preservation Program is part of a broader $1 billion investment in supportive housing and will support the preservation of the city's stock of more than 30,000 supportive housing units.
How it works: The program will offer tax exemptions, below-market loans and modifications to existing HPD financing to help property owners complete capital improvements and secure additional private financing.
Why it matters: Many supportive housing properties were developed decades ago and now require substantial repairs, including roof replacements, facade work, boiler upgrades and accessibility improvements for aging residents.
Part of a larger housing strategy: The initiative aligns with Mayor Zohran Mamdani's goal of building 200,000 affordable homes and preserving 200,000 existing units over the next 10 years.
On the ground: HPD announced the program at a Bronx supportive housing property where operators cited millions of dollars in needed repairs and infrastructure upgrades.
➥ THE TAKEAWAY
A preservation-first approach: The program highlights the city's growing focus on extending the life of existing affordable housing, recognizing that preserving aging supportive housing can often be as important as building new units.
