Having been familiar with the property for nearly a decade, our team is excited to enhance its value through targeted management, strategic leasing, and other value-add initiatives. These efforts should strengthen Copaco Center’s role in serving the local community while delivering strong results for our investor partners,” Jordan Fried, a principal of Sterling Organization, said in a statement.
