Gilbane Development, a nationally recognized leader in integrated real estate development, today announced the appointment of Tyler Greene as Vice President of Development. In this capacity, Greene will oversee the strategic and significant expansion of Gilbane Development’s real estate activity in Salt Lake City.
With Greene’s appointment, Gilbane Development also announces its official launch into Salt Lake City, a market defined by sustained population growth, economic strength, and long-term resilience. The expansion marks a pivotal part of Gilbane Development’s broader strategy to invest in high-performing regions across the country, with enduring demand across multifamily, mixed-use, and community-driven real estate.
Greene recently spearheaded the market entry in Salt Lake City of another nationally recognized multifamily developer; and, in 2020, founded Surface Development where he oversaw a $250M development pipeline. His successful re-entry into the Utah market five years ago drew Gilbane Development’s attention.
“Entering Salt Lake City represents a significant milestone in Gilbane Development’s national growth strategy, and we’re thrilled to take that step with Tyler Greene leading the charge,” said Alastair Jenkin, Senior Vice President, Multifamily, Gilbane Development. “Tyler’s deep understanding of the Utah market, proven ability to scale complex projects, and commitment to long-term community building make him the ideal person to spearhead our investment in this high-growth region. His leadership reinforces our mission to deliver dynamic housing solutions that align with local needs and long-term resilience.”
“Salt Lake City is on the move. We are growing and investing, we are attracting businesses, jobs, and population,” said Greene, who began his new post on July 28, 2025. “I am honored to join Gilbane Development and work with this storied firm to bring meaningful and thoughtfully planned development to my hometown.”
Salt Lake City’s exceptional fundamentals, including strong demand for new housing, a business-friendly environment, investments in outdoor recreation, a family-oriented culture, and increasing national visibility through ongoing MLB and NHL expansions make an attractive place for Gilbane Development’s next phase of growth.
Gilbane Development plans to fill key gaps in the market through thoughtfully scaled multifamily housing that serves a wide range of incomes. Its portfolio in Utah will focus on low- to mid-rise projects with attainable rents, while exploring purpose-built student housing, workforce and mixed-income developments, and public-private partnerships (P3).
While the national multifamily sector is experiencing short-term challenges, Gilbane Development remains confident in Salt Lake City’s long-term outlook. Underscoring this commitment, the company is proactively building its regional presence—starting with the hire of a dedicated local leader—and expects to deliver over 550 housing units annually as its pipeline gains momentum.
