Founded in 1960 and headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland, Continental Realty Corporation (CRC) is a privately held, family-owned real estate investment and management firm with a national footprint. Over six decades, CRC has evolved from a regional operator into a vertically integrated platform specializing in the acquisition, development, and management of retail and multifamily assets. The company manages more than $3.7 billion in assets under management, including approximately eight million square feet of retail space and over 9,000 apartment homes across 11 states. CRC’s core business strategy centers on acquiring value-add and opportunistic retail properties and Class A multifamily communities in high-growth markets, primarily in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast regions. The firm employs a conservative capital structure, favoring long-term fixed-rate debt and targeting acquisitions below replacement cost. CRC operates through discretionary closed-end funds and joint ventures, having raised nearly $1 billion in equity since 2012 to support its expansion. The portfolio spans lifestyle centers, neighborhood shopping centers, and garden-style or mid-rise apartment communities. Recent acquisitions include Lakeside Village in Lakeland, Florida ($78M), South Coast Collection in Costa Mesa, California ($110M), and Gayton Crossing in Richmond, Virginia ($22M), reflecting CRC’s focus on retail diversification and geographic growth. Top market exposures include Maryland, Florida, and Georgia, with significant holdings in Baltimore, Tampa, and Atlanta suburbs. This concentration creates regional risk, particularly in Florida, which accounts for a large share of retail and multifamily assets. Tenant mix is diverse, but national brands such as Kroger, Bank of America, and Bob’s Discount Furniture anchor several retail centers. No single tenant exceeds 5% of net rental income, mitigating tenant concentration risk. CRC’s strategic positioning as a mid-market, value-add investor with in-house operational capabilities enables it to compete effectively against institutional players while maintaining flexibility in deal execution.
