Holtsinger moved to Tampa in 1905 from Dandridge, Tennessee and joined fellow Tennessean Alfred Swann in the land-development business, constructing homes in Hyde Park, Tampa, Ridgewood Park, Tampa, Ybor City and West Tampa. He developed the area now known as Channelside, Tampa and formed the Tampa-Sulphur Springs Traction Co., builder of the Garcia Avenue Bridge for streetcars running between Ybor City and West Tampa (replaced in 1959 by the bridge that bears his name).
