WILDWOOD, Fla. — Centennial Holding Company has acquired The Juliette, a 330-unit rental community near The Villages, according to an announcement Monday from JLL Capital Markets.

The Juliette, completed in 2024, includes 288 apartments and 42 rental townhomes. The community is not age-restricted.

JLL represented the seller and arranged a seven-year acquisition loan through Freddie Mac for the buyer. The announcement did not disclose the purchase price, loan amount or seller’s identity.

Housing near The Villages

The property consists of 14 buildings on approximately 22 acres. JLL said it was 96% leased at the time of the announcement.

The apartments offer one- and two-bedroom layouts, while the townhomes have two or three bedrooms and direct-access garages.

JLL Managing Director Joe Ayers said the community serves rental demand from workers supporting The Villages, including health care, retail, hospitality and education employees.

“The Villages’ explosive growth has created a critical housing gap that The Juliette is uniquely positioned to capture,” Ayers said.
