Sterling Development LLC is dedicated to the development of multifamily housing communities and self-storage facilities within the Midwest and in other strategic markets throughout the United States. Our objectives coincide with our affiliates, Sterling Construction, Sterling Management and Sterling Acquisitions: to ensure the long term viability of each planned real estate investment. It is this strategic forethought that places Sterling Development amongst the leaders in the industry.

Our ability to foster trusting and lasting relationships with our external customers, such as local governments, investment partners, and financial service partners, remains a vital element to our success. Sterling Development’s team members cultivate these relationships to ensure that each development opportunity fits local planning needs, blends with surrounding neighborhoods and living environment, while creating an appropriate return on investment.

With more than 100 years of combined development experience, we use a proven disciplined approach, including comprehensive research and responsible planning. Through careful analysis of specific market indicators, our team identifies key submarkets, and then pursues marquee locations with high-visibility and easy access. Working with Sterling’s corporate team, we determine the financial feasibility, assess comparable product within the submarket, identify key stakeholders, and finalize other necessary details before collaborating on a vertically integrated plan, which is then presented to the investment committee.

Our expertise and consistent achievements in project planning, engineering, architecture and forging partnerships, have earned us a reputation of integrity and dedication to our customers. They understand the value of a development team with knowledge of the approval process and the needs and requirements of the respective municipality. Supplemented by the resources we draw from our corporate affiliates, we continue to contribute to the growth of The Sterling Group’s family of quality properties. Our communities, our character and our company will continue to stand the test of time.
