The lawsuit alleges that Greystar, which started 11,351 units last year, putting it at No. 2 on the National Multifamily Housing Council’s Top 25 Developers list, has a history of failing to secure jobsites in adverse weather. It points to the company’s alleged failure to secure a crane despite knowing of predicted high winds on a jobsite in Dallas. Kiersten Smith, 29, died and several other people were injured when the crane crashed into the Elan City Lights apartment building in June 2019.
