Miromar Development

What Miromar Development does

Miromar Development Corporation is a privately held, founder-led real estate development company headquartered in Estero, Florida, founded in 1988 by Margaret Antonier, who continues to serve as President and CEO. The company develops and operates an integrated portfolio of master-planned assets concentrated in Southwest Florida, including Miromar Lakes Beach & Golf Club (a 700+ acre waterfront residential community with three miles of private beach, named #1 Residential Community in the United States by the NAHB), Miromar Outlets (a 140+ store factory outlet mall voted Best Shopping Mall in Southwest Florida), Miromar Design Center (a 45-store home furnishings destination), University Village (a mixed-use retail and student living complex adjacent to Florida Gulf Coast University), and UV Residences (luxury student apartments opened in August 2018). Two related service businesses, Miromar Realty and Miromar Title Company, capture brokerage and title fees from transactions within the portfolio.

Revenue is generated through five streams: one-time luxury residential home sales at Miromar Lakes, recurring commercial tenant leasing across the outlets, design center, and University Village retail, recurring student housing leasing at UV Residences, and transaction-fee income from real estate brokerage and title insurance. The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer through on-site sales galleries for residential buyers and through mall office leasing teams for commercial tenants, supplemented by property-specific digital marketing sites and an X/Twitter social presence. The customer base spans affluent residential buyers, value-oriented outlet shoppers, FGCU students and families, design professionals, and retail tenants; pricing is individually negotiated and not publicly disclosed. Future plans include the Miromar Professional Office Park and additional waterfront residential neighborhoods within Miromar Lakes. The company maintains a major strategic partnership with Florida Gulf Coast University, which named its largest academic building Margaret Antonier Hall in July 2026 in recognition of the founder's philanthropy.
