Sterling Asset Management Names 30-Year Veteran as President 

Kevin Grani, a 30-year property management executive, has been named president of Sterling Asset Management Company, a subsidiary of Community Housing Opportunities Corporation (CHOC). Based in the company’s headquarters in Fairfield, Grani will oversee the current CHOC affordable housing portfolio located throughout California and shepherd the firm’s growth into new market-rate and affordable apartment complexes.    

Grani most recently served as EVP at Acacia Capital, where he managed portfolios spanning California, Arizona, Washington, Utah, and Nevada.  Prior to that, he oversaw West Coast operations for WinnCompanies as EVP. 

“The property management industry for large portfolios has become very complex and today it requires a skilled executive to lead successfully, implement change and deliver results,” said CHOC CEO Manuela Silva. “There is no question that Kevin excels in this industry, and his leadership skills will allow us to continue to expand our property management services further across the housing spectrum.”
