216-foot, 21-story postmodern residential building completed in 2013. Designed by Stephen B. Jacobs, it is clad in limestone, metal and glass, three bays wide. The 3-story base has banded piers with low black granite bases. The main entrance is in the west bay, with glass doors below a suspended glass-and-metal canopy. The other two bays of the ground floor have storefronts, with the entrance in the east bay. At the 2nd floor the two eastern bays have large tripartite windows, while the western bay above the entrance has two translucent white panels with rivets on the left, and a black panel flanked by two narrow strips of glass on the right. On the 3rd floor, the two eastern bays again have tripartite windows, only shorter, and the west bay has a different style of tripartite window with thicker framing and bottom transoms, the middle pane of which is a metal vent.

The 4th-9th floors have wider stone piers in the middle, and tripartite windows framed in grey metal in each bay; each has a metal vent at the lower center section. The facade sets back at the 10th floor, with the end bays matching those below, and the middle bay having paired square windows. The outer bays set back again above the 14th floor, while the middle bay continues up to the roof line, with tripartite windows. At the 17th floor, the recessed end bays begin to slant back, and angle up to the roof line, both clad in a glass curtain wall.

The Greywood contains 72 apartment units. On the 2nd floor is The Chesterfield, a private social club; on the 21st floor is the Lower Empire Deck, an outside amenities space; and on the roof is the Upper Empire Deck. The ground floor is occupied by Shabu Shabu Kobe restaurant.
