Sterling Organization is a vertically integrated private equity real estate firm founded in 2007 and focused exclusively on the retail real estate sector. The firm manages over $2 billion in real estate assets across nearly 13 million square feet, a significant expansion from the 2 million square feet under management in 2008. This growth is overseen through seven actively managed investment funds, with the most recent, Sterling Value Add Partners IV, securing $600 million in equity commitments.
The firm employs four distinct investment strategies: Value-Add retail real estate, Core Grocery-anchored shopping centers, Core Power Centers, and the proprietary LAST HOUR® concept. The LAST HOUR® strategy targets the logistics challenge of final-mile distribution by developing Neighborhood Fulfillment Centers for rapid consumer goods delivery. This approach positions the firm at the intersection of retail property and e-commerce supply chain infrastructure.
Sterling Organization maintains a national footprint with its headquarters in West Palm Beach, Florida, and additional offices in key markets including Seattle, Los Angeles, San Antonio, Minneapolis, Chicago, Washington D.C., Dallas, Detroit, and Phoenix. The firm reports a track record spanning more than 20 years of investing in the retail real estate space.
