Sterling Organization, a vertically integrated private equity real estate investment firm headquartered in West Palm Beach, Florida, has promoted Bob Dake to a principal of the firm.
Dake joined the firm in 2021 as chief operating officer (COO) of Sterling’s retail real estate platform for the past three years, primarily overseeing the property management, leasing, lease administration, construction and property marketing teams for the firm’s portfolio, which currently comprises approximately 12 million square feet of U.S. shopping centers.
