Florida East Coast Industries (FECI) is Florida's oldest and largest commercial real estate, transportation, and infrastructure holding company. Based in Coral Gables, FECI is the direct lineal descendant of the various companies founded by pioneering American businessman Henry M. Flagler. FECI today is the parent company of three distinct businesses:

  • Brightline, formally known as All Aboard Florida, an inter-city passenger rail line between Miami and Orlando. In addition, the project calls for developing more than 2 million square feet of multi-use real estate space around the stations.
  • Flagler Global Logistics, an integrated logistics company that provides multimodal shipping, warehousing and supply chain services; and
  • Flagler, a full-service commercial real estate company.

FECI was purchased in 2007 by equity funds managed by Fortress Investment Group, LLC. Although Florida East Coast Railway at one time fell under the FECI umbrella, it is now a completely separate corporate entity owned by Grupo México's GMexico Transportes SAB de CV since 2017.
