Griffin Capital Co. has expanded its Griffin Residential Investment Platform (GRIP) with the formation of Griffin Capital Residential Partners (GRP), a singularly focused build-to-rent (BTR) division focused on the acquisition, development and operation of purpose-built rental communities across high-growth U.S. markets. Integrating BTR investment expertise and capabilities into Griffin Capital’s substantial existing rental housing platform strengthens the company’s commitment to providing investors with compelling solutions across the rental housing continuum.
The platform will be led by industry veterans Jonathan Trott and David Platter, who have joined Griffin as co-CEOs of the new vertical. Trott and Platter bring deep experience managing large-scale, purpose-built single-family rental portfolios. Both Trott and Platter were formerly co-CEOs in a similar capacity and previously led the BTR division at Amherst.
