STERLING OFFICE AND INDUSTRIAL TRUST
Sterling Office and Industrial Trust’s strategy is to acquire office and industrial properties that will provide stable cash flow and reliable dividends to our investors.
Our thinking is long-term. We purchase with the intent of holding our properties, caring for them, and aggressively managing their performance. We know commercial real estate has its own intrinsic value, but if managed and maintained well, it will produce steady and reliable income.
The Trust looks for freestanding, single, and multi-tenant office and industrial properties located primarily in the central corridor of the contiguous forty-eight (48) states.
THE BENEFITS OF INVESTING IN REAL ESTATE
Steady Value
Real estate’s intrinsic value is not usually subject to the frequent trading and volatility sometimes affecting stocks and bonds
Reliable Income
Current and regular lease income can be used to pay dividends
Capital Appreciation
Real estate can appreciate in value over time
Protection Against Inflation
Well-managed rents and expenses can shelter some aspects of asset income from long-term inflationary trends
Tax Benefits
Depreciation, step-ups in basis, and opportunities for deferral through IRS (1031/721) transactions may provide investors certain tax benefits
