Developer / Builder
- 1973foundation year
Founded over 60 years ago by Tibor Hollo, Florida East Coast Realty (FECR) has built more than 60 million square feet of construction, consisting of landmark residential and commercial high-rises, single-family homes, government buildings, marinas, high-end re...tail centers, warehouse complexes, and telecommunications centers. Beginning in 1973 and continuing throughout the 1980s, the company forged new ground by developing Miami’s Omni/Venetia area, sparking the transformation of the district into what now is known as the Arts and Entertainment District. Covering six square blocks on the northern edge of Downtown Miami, FECR’s vision for the neighborhood includes several landmark developments, including Plaza Venetia (now known as Venetia), a mixed-use luxury rental building; the 605-room Biscayne Bay Marriott Hotel; Venetia (now known as the Grand), comprising over 3.4 million square feet of residential and commercial space; the Omni International Mall, which contained over one million square feet of high-end retail space, as well as what now is known as the 527-room Hilton Miami Downtown (opened as an Omni and later converted into a Radisson); and Sea Isle Marina & Yachting Center, a full-service marina. FECR also has been involved with many projects outside of South Florida, including several office (Rainbow Sunset Pavilion and Red Rock Business Center) and residential (The Palms and The Lennox) developments in Las Vegas; the Element Condominium located near Columbus Circle West in Manhattan; luxury residences at 20 East End Avenue in Manhattan; and The Summit Club (formerly Brynwood Golf & Country Club) in Armonk, New York. Throughout FECR’s extensive history, the company has developed, owned, and managed a wide array of properties, with sustained growth in multiple real estate sectors. With new ideas and ambitious projects on the drawing board, the Hollo family and the entire FECR team are eager and ready to continue innovating, pushing boundaries, and reshaping the Miami skyline for many years to come.
