Greystar Accused of Fraud, Breach in Suit Over Management of Dog-Centric Apartment Concept in Grapevine

The founder of dog owner-focused apartment communities in Grapevine and North Garland alleges the largest apartment management company in the country, Greystar, was negligent in overseeing operations at one of the communities, costing him tens of millions of dollars.

Steve Bardack, founder of Dane Park Communities, filed a lawsuit in Dallas County District Court Wednesday morning against Greystar Management Services, Greystar Real Estate Partners, GREP Texas, GREP General Partner and two individual defendants. According to the lawsuit, Bardack conceptualized the idea for Dane Park during the pandemic, when many people were adopting pets, and once he realized the need in the market for apartments developed specifically to accommodate pet owners and also make a positive impact on the pet population.
