Sentinel has purchased other developments in the region such as the Preserve VII, a Class-A, 115,000-square-foot office building in Tampa from Highwoods Properties Inc.
Sentinel’s president, Michael Streicker, recently spoke to IREI Americas about the positive long-term outlook for suburban apartments due to the rise of millennials migrating to the suburbs as they age, rising flexibility for remote work and strong employment centers emerging in suburban locations across the country, according to a recent blog from the firm.
