Sterling Realty Organization (SRO) has been a cornerstone of real estate development and management for over 110 years, providing community-focused spaces in the Pacific Northwest and Mountain West regions. Founded in 1911 by John Danz as a motion picture enterprise, SRO has transformed from its origins in entertainment to specialize in commercial real estate. Under the leadership of Fred Danz from 1961, the company evolved by divesting its initial operations and pivoting towards the acquisition, development, and management of commercial properties. Today, SRO owns and manages approximately 2.3 million square feet of predominantly Class A suburban office buildings, catering to a diverse range of businesses and organizations.
SRO's properties are strategically located to serve vibrant neighborhoods, allowing entrepreneurs and enterprises to thrive in proximity to their communities. Notable developments include the Symetra Center in Bellevue, the Johnson Creek Crossing Shopping Center in Portland, and Tukwila's ShuttlePark2 Airport Parking. The company is committed to sustainability and honors its responsibility to the communities it serves by thoughtfully developing its properties to maintain long-term value while respecting local heritage.
Beyond real estate, SRO prides itself on establishing gathering places that facilitate collaboration, innovation, and growth. The firm views its tenants not merely as clients but as neighbors, reinforcing its mission to invest in the communities it calls home. With a strong emphasis on transparency and relationships, SRO continues to honor the principles set forth by its founders while adapting to the evolving real estate landscape.
