Our Story

Developing Differently

For more than 30 years, Sterling Bay’s unique vision for real estate has set a disruptive new standard. While our portfolio ranges from life sciences laboratories to luxury apartments, at the core of each project is a thoughtful design and a hospitality-led approach.

Transforming Communities

What others deemed an aging warehouse in Chicago’s Fulton Market, a meatpacking district full of refrigerated buildings used to store chops, Sterling Bay’s CEO, Andy Gloor, saw as an opportunity to construct a creative office property and retail destination. He purchased the frozen warehouse with the goal of transforming it into the future home of Google’s Midwest HQ.

The plan came to fruition and the building ultimately sold for 21 times its original price. Sterling Bay has since become a 150+ person company that develops award-winning urban headquarters for some of the world’s largest companies, including McDonald’s, Dyson, and BCG. Today, Sterling Bay has $20B of national real estate development in the pipeline.
