Mr. Browning was born in Jacksonville, Florida in 1962 and graduated from the University of Florida in 1986 with a B.S. in Business Administration.

At the age of 18, Mr. Browning received his real estate license and began his first career in the student housing business selling student condos.  By age 22, Mr. Browning had racked up over $1 million dollars of real-estate sales.

Having come from a family of developers, entrepreneurs and a successful career in real-estate sales, Robbie decided to enter the development business and developed an ever-increasing series of multi-family, student housing, assisted living and self-storage facilities.

Robbie was the first developer to introduce the concept of student housing (i.e. 4 bedrooms/4 baths) at the University of Central Florida and built the second ever student housing facility in North Carolina.

Eagles Point Townhomes, Tallahassee, FL – 1991. This was the first community college in the US that built its own student housing facility by solely pledging the revenues from the student housing to repay the bonds. They issued tax free revenue bonds for the development. Tallahassee Community College was not required to financially support this project.

In early 2016, he decided to get back into the multi-family business and re-connected with Mike at MMI. Robbie and Mike met while developing the Valencia Lane Apartment community and jointly brought this property to fruition. They have been friends ever since.
