"Greyfield land is a term used in the United States and Canada to describe economically obsolescent, outdated, failing, moribund and/or underused real estate assets or land. The term was coined in the early 2000s from the 'sea' of empty asphalt that often accompanies these sites. "Greyfield" is a relative neologism as compared to more commonly known terms such as brownfield or greenfield."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greyfield_land

"In urban planning, a brownfield site (or simply a brownfield) is land previously used for industrial purposes or some commercial uses."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brownfield_land

Parece que a distinção entre "greyfield" e "brownfield" não é muito clara. Em muitos casos, poderiam ser velhas áreas comerciais, como sugere Claudio, mas não necessariamente, pelo jeito.
