Executive Development Team

The partnership of Tony Solo and Normand Lepine has been active throughout Florida for the past twenty-four years, with each partner bringing more than four decades of experience in large-scale, complex developments requiring advanced executional expertise.

Collectively, their work includes several notable achievements—among them, the re-zoning of a key downtown corridor that paved the way for the creation of Florida’s first high-speed rail system, Brightline, a Transit-Oriented Development that helped catalyze the ongoing renaissance in West Palm Beach, now often referred to as Wall Street South.

Recognizing opportunity in Central Florida, the duo assembled a major landholding in Orange County, successfully annexing seventy acres into the City of Orlando. The effort resulted in a three-phase development featuring Class A apartments and build-for-rent townhomes—nearly 900 new residential units in total.

Their latest venture, along the shores of Tampa Bay, has been several years in the making and culminated in the assemblage of a 750-unit mixed-use luxury residential community. Construction of the first phase is slated to begin in the spring of 2026.

  With over four decades of experience, ASolo has built a resilient and versatile real estate development platform, delivering residential and mixed-use projects across a wide range of U.S. markets. The firm’s work spans Build-for-Rent communities, multifamily housing, urban infill developments, resort residential enclaves, and high-end luxury estates—each shaped by a deep understanding of local conditions and market demands.

Throughout the company’s 40-year history, ASolo has taken on some of the most challenging environments in real estate development. Their projects have navigated steep mountain terrain in Colorado, endured cold climate construction challenges, addressed deep foundation requirements in coastal zones, and implemented wetland mitigation strategies in environmentally sensitive areas. Each setting posed unique constraints—topographical, structural, and environmental—which the firm met with technical expertise, engineering innovation, and an unwavering commitment to quality.

ASolo’s legacy is also deeply rooted in the luxury estate market. Originating in Palm Beach, Florida, the firm has designed and constructed hundreds of bespoke homes, including numerous projects on Palm Beach Island. These custom estates benefit from ASolo’s in-house architectural and general contracting capabilities, ensuring cohesive execution from concept through completion.

Across all asset types, ASolo manages the entire development lifecycle—from land acquisition, entitlement, and engineering to vertical construction and sales. The firm brings specialized experience in deep foundation systems, hillside building techniques, and structural solutions tailored for cold-weather environments, making it a trusted partner for complex, high-value real estate projects.

ASolo’s Build-for-Rent division recently delivered Twelve Oaks, a 166-unit townhome community in Orlando, Florida. Building on this momentum, the firm is expected to add an additional 1,000 entitled lots in 2026. In the multifamily sector, ASolo delivered Hoffner Avenue Apartments, a 348-unit Class A community also located in Orlando. The division is currently targeting additional deliveries of between 1,200 and 1,600 entitled units, between 2026-2027.

The firm has played a leading role in urban transformation efforts in West Palm Beach, FL. ASolo assembled and rezoned multiple parcels to create more than 700,000 square feet of mixed-use entitlements. This initiative was instrumental in shaping the city’s expanding central business district—now widely recognized as “Wall Street South.”

In the resort residential space, ASolo developed Bear Crossing in Winter Park, Colorado—a 56-unit luxury townhome community built on challenging mountain terrain. The site required complex foundation and slope stabilization systems due to its steep grades and cold-weather climate. The project’s success was underscored by a full sellout during a single day launch event.

Currently, Little Harbor, a 1,500-unit mixed-use waterfront community on Tampa Bay, is being revitalized by ASolo, led by Tony Solo. The redevelopment plan spans eight parcels and will introduce modern architecture, amenities, and enhanced convenience while preserving the community’s coastal character. Phase one is scheduled to begin in Spring 2026, with buildout over three to five years.

For over 40 years, Normand Lepine – Group Lepine has been a driving force behind some of the most ambitious and sophisticated real estate developments in Canada and the United States. With a reputation built on precision, vision, and resilience, the firm has consistently delivered high-quality projects, often on complex urban infill sites that demand deep foundations and present challenging geotechnical conditions.

A hallmark of the Group’s work is the Sanctuaire du Mont-Royal Condominium in Montreal—a landmark undertaking featuring 945 residential units delivered over seven phases, with a cumulative value of $700 million. This project stands as a defining example of Lepine’s ability to execute large-scale urban developments that shape city skylines.

Lepine’s portfolio in Montreal also includes the prestigious Sir Robert Peel Condominium (72 units, $90 million) and the ultra-luxury Sir George Simpson Condominium, a 42-unit project valued at $125 million, reflecting the Group’s mastery in delivering high-end residential offerings.

Further emphasizing its strength in the rental sector, Normand Lepine – Group Lepine developed the 1200 West Rental Apartments in Montreal, comprising 289 units in two 27-story towers, valued at $180 million. The Group has also expanded its rental presence with the Laurier Luxury Rental Tower in Ottawa, a 212-unit project representing $110 million in premium rental value.

In the U.S., the Group extended its expertise to Florida’s coastal markets with the Mediterranea Condominium in Hillsboro Beach (30 units, $40 million) and Venezia Las Olas, a 60-unit multi-family project in Fort Lauderdale, valued at $50 million. Both developments highlight the firm's adaptability and commitment to design excellence across borders.

The 501 Fern Street Redevelopment in West Palm Beach marks Lepine’s strategic investment in commercial assets, transforming three properties into 50,000 square feet of leasable space—further showcasing the Group's capacity in mixed-use redevelopment.

Across all projects, Normand Lepine – Group Lepine has remained true to its core strength: navigating and transforming urban infill sites with engineering ingenuity, architectural quality, and long-term value creation.
