Casey Rosen and Dennis Carson of CBRE represented Sterling in the sale.

Sterling acquired Pembroke Place in November 2008. At that time, the property included a Kmart, which was subleased to Renaissance Charter Schools in 2014. The charter school company purchased the building in November for $10.5 million.

Sterling owns and operates 51 properties across the country, according to the release.

Boston-based Longpoint Realty Partners has been expanding in South Florida. The firm paid $21.2 million for a strip mall within the Crossroads Square Shopping Center in Pembroke Pines in November. In June, Longpoint bought a Publix-anchored shopping center in Boynton Beach for $9.9 million. And in late 2017, Longpoint paid $5.8 million for a warehouse in Doral.

The firm focuses on industrial and retail properties in major East Coast, Texas, Tennessee and Georgia markets, according to its website.
