Why Greystone

Built from limestone quarried in the Midwest, Greystone is a unique building style found throughout Chicago. This limestone material can be creatively shaped to meet the desires of its owner, while also being tough enough to stand the test of time. Like the buildings from which we derive our name, Greystone Industrial Partners balances the unique needs of all constituents with the goal of building enduring companies for long-term success.

Efficient and Decisive

We are nimble and act with conviction during diligence and as partners.
