As many multifamily developers navigate uneven market conditions across the nation, Wisconsin-based Continental Properties is leaning into a strategy it has followed for decades: balancing investments between slow-and-steady Midwest markets and faster-growing Sun Belt regions. That approach is paying off as oversupply challenges continue in parts of the Southeast and Southwest, while supply-constrained Midwestern markets post stronger rent growth.

Indianapolis-based Milhaus has significantly expanded its national footprint through a merger with SRG Residential and a planned acquisition of Broadshore Capital Partners, creating a vertically integrated multifamily platform with a combined development pipeline of over $2.5 billion total investment activity, more than 50,000 homes under third-party management, and enhanced investment and lending capabilities.
