Founded in 2002 by William H. Holly, Holly Real Estate is one of Florida’s most awarded integrated commercial real estate firms and is now ranked by the South Florida Business Journal among the 25 largest commercial real estate brokerages.  No question, Mr. Holly credits much of the company’s success to his close-knit team of commercial real estate brokerage, development and finance professionals, many of whom he has known and worked with for many years.

Since its inception as a brokerage, Holly Real Estate has diversified to become a truly integrated commercial real estate company providing brokerage, investment/joint ventures, development, and property management and consulting services.  In addition to its headquarters in Miami, FL - Holly Real Estate opened additional offices in Jacksonville, FL; Tampa, FL and Atlanta, GA over the past two years. 

True to its South Florida roots, Holly Real Estate has developed cross-continental relationships with investors, banks and hedge funds in Europe, Latin America and the East. These international relationships have enabled the company to develop some of Florida’s and the Southeastern region’s prominent commercial real estate projects.

A good example is Holly Real Estate’s Miami Green office condo project, Miami-Dade County’s first Leed Certified green office building to be completed in 2008.  While the green building trend is accelerating at warp speed today, William H. Holly’s green advocacy was years ahead of the crowd.  His can-do approach, top-flight finance and development team and tenacity helped him overcome the perceived barriers to getting this innovative project financed, permitted, built and sold.   

Often considered South Florida’s green building evangelist, Mr. Holly regularly addresses the industry on green building issues at real estate conferences hosted by Commercial Property News and the National Association of Industrial and Office Professionals (NAIOP). 

A native South Floridian, Mr. Holly believes the company’s dedication to providing unparalleled service and its commitment to giving back to the community have contributed greatly to its success.  These values are so strongly entrenched that Holly Real Estate yearly donates and matches up 100% of personal time and profits coming from employees and brokers, to aid non-profit charitable organizations.

In 2008, the award winning Holly Real Estate became an affiliate member of TCN, a consortium of independent commercial real estate firms ranked as one of the largest service providers in the industry covering more than 200 markets globally.
