Background:
In 2020, at the height of the coronavirus worldwide pandemic, Sterling Bay hosted a holiday turkey giveaway, distributing more than 250 turkeys to Englewood families for the Thanksgiving holiday. In 2021, the company sponsored its 2nd Annual “Wellness on Wentworth” holiday healthcare event in Englewood, offering residents and its surrounding communities an opportunity to access free walk-up healthcare services and a variety of giveaways to help families in need, serving more than 200 residents. And this year, in its 3rd annual Holiday Bazaar giveaway event, Sterling Bay plans to distribute 400.
A world-class real estate developer, Sterling Bay has deep involvement in helping under resourced communities. This summer Sterling Bay partnered with Mettle Sports to activate Fleet Fields, a publicly available street soccer pitch at Lincoln Yards that is open for free community play. Sterling Bay is the developer of Lincoln Yards, a 53-acre mixed-use community being developed on former industrial land along the North Branch of the Chicago River.
