Arch Companies will collaborate with Greystone on existing projects and future developments, the firm said in a statement Monday.

Simpson joined Greystone in 2007 and became the CEO of its development subsidiary in 2013. Greystone Development’s portfolio spans 15 projects with a combined 1.5 million square feet in New York, California and South Florida. The company recently filed a $61 million condo offering plan for their 14-unit project at 164 West 74th Street. It also submitted plans for an eight-unit, $31 million new construction project at 108 Chambers Street in May. — Konrad Putzier
