Northwest Atlantic Takes on North America Northwest Atlantic serves as a provider of real estate advisory services for retailers across North America. The company puts its primary focus on retail representation. During the past 10 years, Northwest Atlantic has opened transactions with more than 240 million sq.ft. of land valued at more than $2 billion. The company also controls more than 65 million sq.ft. tabulated at a $4 billion worth in retail locations throughout North America.
The company operates offices in New York, NY; San Diego, San Francisco and Los Angeles, CA; Chicago, IL; Dallas, TX; Seattle, WA; Washington, DC; Toronto, Ontario and Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Each office is committed to creating value by offering services expected of an in-house real estate and development department. The company works to deliver real estate advisory services in a cost-efficient manner to get the best possible results for its clients. Northwest Atlantic also provides retailers with local market knowledge.
Northwest Atlantic pins its success on its understanding of its clientele and how it distributes its understanding throughout the retail world in North America. The company made its main goal to be a long-term relationship builder. As it appears, the company has succeeded in achieving that goal, as it has developed long-term relationships with hundreds of retail real estate professionals and municipal contacts across the country. In turn, Northwest’s clients receive immediate access to information and contacts across North America. The numerous relationships the company has formed gives it a constant presence in the market and in turn, its clients access to unlisted opportunities.
Northwest Atlantic believes that by constantly insuring high levels of integrity and working together diligently, it will create positive results. The company continues to generate those positive results thanks to the bevy of services it offers. For example, Northwest Atlantic’s Research and Analysis Services help its clients gain an understanding of customer origins, profiles and shopping patterns, which in turn can drive a retailer’s growth and its disposition strategies. The research and analysis services also assist with analysis, demographic and psychographic reporting, forecasting and modeling, mapping, profiling and U.S. and Canadian aerials.
The company’s Disposition Services help retailers market their property and generate the best financial return for its clients as possible. Northwest Atlantic works around the needs of individual retailers. It can help retailers who prefer to fly under the radar as well as those who favor all-out public marketing. The company puts the word out to suitable tenants via direct mail, fax, Internet and phone calls. Disposition Services also specialize in broker network management, real estate portfolio analysis, relocation services, and strategic marketing plan development and transaction negotiations.
Northwest’s Development Services Division can serve as a retailer’s development department. If the retailer has an in-house development department, Northwest Atlantic would supplement it and work with the existing staff. This division of Northwest Atlantic has managed the permitting and development of more than 210 million sq.ft. of retail in North America. It specializes in construction management, development assessments and surplus land strategies, due diligence, land use approvals, project management and strategic location planning.
Northwest Atlantic also offers full-service brokerage, which allows it to give clients clear, unbiased information regarding opportunities in the marketplace. The company manages third party brokers in local markets and provides the planning, process, coordination and ultimately execution. The company’s team of specialists is experienced in leasing, development, construction, marketing, demographics analysis and land use.
Northwest Atlantic’s Mall Services Division was created to help mall-based retailers looking for real estate representation in Canada. The Toronto-based division represents more than 19 national retailers in their expansion throughout Canada. It gives the company exposure and access to a sector of the real estate world that’s normally managed and controlled by large corporate organizations. Some of the undertakings the Mall Services Division provides include market development strategy, research and demographics, site identification, evaluation and acquisition, transaction negotiations, corporate approval process and process management.
