At United Way Miami’s recent Tocqueville Society Grand Reception, the Grant Family and Florida East Coast Realty (FECR) Chief Operating Officer Austin Hollo were celebrated for their philanthropic efforts. Hollo was presented with the Inaugural Next-Gen Philanthropist Award for his contributions. In 2023, he became a United Way Miami’s Board of Directors member and longstanding Young Leaders Executive Committee member.
“Giving back to the community has always been a high priority for me and my family,” Hollo says. “The power and strength of our community lies with the support that individuals give to a common cause. We liken philanthropy to paying back a community that has given us so much opportunity. We believe that supporting United Way Miami enables us to make the greatest positive impact across the community.”
The United Way Miami serves as a driving force in the community by responding to emerging needs and positively transforming people’s lives. With its unique role, the organization helps to ensure that the residents of Miami-Dade have access to high-caliber education and opportunities to lead healthy and financially secure lives.
In 2009, FECR welcomed Austin, the third generation of the Hollo family, into the company. His responsibilities at FECR include focusing on the development of upcoming projects, marketing and positioning existing properties, coordinating property management and leasing activities, overseeing the company’s strategic vision, day-to-day administration and operations, and business development. Additionally, he plays an integral role in all financing efforts, is responsible for the company’s risk management and insurance portfolio, and evaluates any real estate acquisitions and investments.
Hollo also serves on the Advisory Boards for Florida International University’s Tibor and Sheila Hollo School of Real Estate and Center for Leadership, the Board of Directors and Funding Development Committee for the Miami-Dade Beacon Council, and the Board of Directors, Executive Committee, and New World Center Committee (Vice Chair) for the Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce. Hollo was selected as one of Brickell Magazine’s Top 20 Professionals Under 40 for 2017, Miami Today’s Achiever Profiles and Book of Leaders Honorees for 2020, and South Florida Business and Wealth’s Up and Comer Award Recipients for 2021.
