BALTIMORE, MD (November 13, 2026) – Continental Realty Corporation (CRC), a Baltimore-based, vertically integrated real estate investment and management company with approximately $5 billion in assets under management across 16 states, has acquired Casa Mirella, a 276-unit garden-style community in Windermere, Florida, within the Orlando metro. CRC has rebranded the property as Mirella at Windermere. The acquisition expands CRC’s Florida multifamily portfolio, which includes The Grand Reserve at Tampa Palms, Henley Tampa Palms and Waterview at Coconut Creek. The company also owns and manages 1.3 million square feet of retail in the state. JLL’s Ted Taylor and Kyle Butler represented the seller, while JLL’s Jamie Leachman, Amit Kakar, and Melissa Quinn arranged acquisition financing through PGIM, led by PGIM’s Trevor Arnholt and Ben Feigenbaum.

“The acquisition reflects our ability to find opportunities when markets are unsettled. Since our founding in 1960, the company has invested through many real estate cycles, and that experience shapes how we identify and pursue acquisition opportunities today,” said Ari Abramson, CRC’s Managing Director, Multifamily Acquisitions. “Sellers want a buyer they can count on to close, and we have a longstanding reputation as a buyer of choice.”

Delivered in 2013, the community offers one-, two- and three-bedroom apartment homes with oversized kitchen islands. Floorplans average nearly 1,400 square feet and are among the largest in the submarket. The Windermere community is near SR 429, Florida’s Turnpike and SR 408, with access to downtown Orlando and employment centers along the I-4 corridor.

CRC plans to refresh Mirella at Windermere’s apartment interiors and enhance its shared spaces, where residents can relax and connect. The improvements will complement existing features such as the community’s resort-style saltwater pool and apartment homes’ spacious screened-in balconies. The existing clubhouse will be remodeled to include an expanded fitness center. Plans are also in place to update the existing playground equipment with the goal of creating an inviting community gathering space adjacent to the lake. A refreshed dog park with new agility equipment and improvements to the lakeside trail will further enhance the community’s outdoor amenities.

“Working as one vertically integrated team helps us make thoughtful decisions for the community, even when market conditions change,” said Dana Caudell, CRC’s Executive Vice President, Multifamily Operations. “Our focus now is on making improvements residents will notice and enjoy day to day.”

CRC’s acquisitions, asset management and property management teams work together from underwriting through property operations, giving the company control over execution at every stage, an advantage that matters most when markets are volatile. With 40 apartment communities owned and managed, CRC has the scale to move decisively, and its experience in Florida dating back more than three decades gives it deep knowledge of the market.

Founded in 1960, Continental Realty Corporation is a vertically integrated, privately held commercial real estate investment and management company specializing in the acquisition and operation of retail and multifamily properties. CRC owns and manages a diversified national portfolio of more than 10 million square feet of retail space and more than 10,000 apartment homes across 16 states, with a total value of approximately $5 billion. Guided by a commitment to excellence and long-term value creation, CRC combines market insight, disciplined investment strategies and a people-first approach to deliver exceptional results for investors, residents and communities.
