The Sterling United Properties II fund is seeking a $300m fundraise with a $425m hard cap target. The fund targets a 9% net internal rate of return.
Sterling Organization did not respond to a request for comment.
Montana Board of Investments said in the meeting document that it will also be considering adding more capital to its existing real estate investment trust exposure, without disclosing further details.
