Optima Realty
Optima Realty, a strip mall real estate office in the Miami area, served as Katherine Magbanua's workplace and the location of an initial meeting identified in Patrick Sanford's direct examination at the Magbanua retrial. Coworker Yindra Velazquez Mascaro testified on cross that she and Magbanua shared the same office during the wire intercept period and that she never heard Magbanua discuss the murder or Dan Markel.

The location is relevant to two distinct evidentiary lines: Sanford's identification of its parking lot as the site of an early meeting tied to Magbanua's involvement, and Mascaro's wiretap-period account placing Magbanua at the shared workplace without any observed incriminating communications. Its appearance in Charlie Adelson's 2023 direct testimony extends its record presence across two trials.
