Overview
Goulston & Storrs’ nationally recognized real estate practice counsels leading domestic and international built-to-rent (BTR) and single-family-rental (SFR) housing investors, capital sources, developers and operators.
While economic forces and generational preferences have led to rapid growth in the sector over the last several quarters, Goulston & Storrs has been advising clients in connection with BTR/SFR portfolio transactions across the country for more than a decade, which has enabled us to develop a keen awareness of the legal and business issues and market terms involved in these deals, as well as a network of architects, builders, consultants, contractors, experts and strategists in key U.S. metros.
