South Florida’s skyline tells a story of ambition, architecture, and global investment. Behind many of the region’s most consequential projects are women whose leadership continues to influence how cities grow, how communities evolve, and how luxury real estate is marketed around the world.
Women’s History Month offers a moment to spotlight the executives, developers, designers, and strategists guiding this transformation. Across Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Palm Beach, and beyond, these leaders are shaping everything from waterfront residential development to commercial brokerage and cultural destinations.
The women highlighted below represent a cross section of the industry’s most impactful voices. Their work spans large scale development, marketing strategy, design innovation, and urban planning, each contributing to South Florida’s position as one of the world’s most closely watched real estate markets.

CEO, OneWorld Properties
Peggy Olin has long been recognized as a pioneer in luxury real estate brokerage. In 2008 she founded OneWorld Properties, transforming the company into a globally connected brokerage serving buyers across the United States and more than 60 countries.
Her early career in private wealth banking and pre development sales gave her a detailed understanding of high net worth clients and their expectations within the luxury market.
Under her leadership, OneWorld Properties has facilitated over $5 billion in real estate transactions, building relationships with leading developers while advising them on the preferences of international buyers. Olin’s approach blends market insight with relationship building, two qualities that have defined her career in a traditionally male dominated industry.
