The Central Florida housing crisis is being met with a significant investment near Apopka, where Minnesota-based Dominium Corporation has commenced construction on the $150 million The Mira and Stillwaters affordable housing development on Plymouth Sorrento Road.
The project’s dedicated senior living component, Stillwaters 62+, will deliver 180 high-quality, age-restricted apartments set to open in Fall 2026. The three-story community offers one-, two-, and three-bedroom units designed for residents aged 62 and above.
Financing for the complex was heavily supported by Orange County, which committed $7 million from its Housing for All Trust Fund along with key impact fee abatements. This public-private partnership allows the units to be offered as Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) properties, with rents calculated to be $400–$500 less than market rate for eligible residents. Eligibility requires household income to be at or below 80% of the Area Median Income (AMI), ensuring the housing serves local working seniors and families.
Stillwaters is being built with high-end features often reserved for market-rate housing. Each unit will include a full-size washer and dryer, modern kitchen finishes like granite countertops and islands, and private outdoor space. The community itself features a two-story clubroom, fitness center, dedicated craft and business centers, a resort-style pool, and a tranquil, lakefront setting with a native tree reserve.
