Sergio Pino, a prominent and wealthy developer in South Florida, was found dead by suicide inside his home amid an FBI investigation into criminal allegations in his bitter divorce battle with his wife of 32 years.
The allegations involved claims of arson and stalking, as well as Tatiana Pino accusing her husband of poisoning her. They are part of an ongoing federal investigation that has already resulted in the arrests of four people, but Sergio Pino was not yet charged with a crime.
The start of Century Homebuilders
If you see the word “Century” in a Miami-Dade development, it likely began with the Pino family.
Sergio Pino was the founder of Century Homebuilders Group, LLC, established in 1995, which its website says is the largest Hispanic-owned homebuilder in the nation. The group boasts it acquired, developed and/or managed over 50 multi-family and condominium communities that account for over 15,000 homes through Miami-Dade and Broward counties.
He also founded and was the chairman and president of Century Partners Group, and had his first business endeavor at 20 years old with Century Plumbing, a retail plumbing supplier that “quickly grew to the largest Hispanic-owned plumbing company in the nation.”
