ATM is known throughout the
industry for its full-service, turnkey approach to waterfront & marina
development.
ATM approaches development holistically to generate maximum, sustainable
benefits from each project. We believe waterfront projects cannot be
engineered effectively without integrating economic, market, and
environmental issues. This is key to our business model and critical for
both public and private projects.
•
Is the return worth
the investment?
•
Is the market sustainable
over time?
•
What are the boater trends
that affect slip absorption and occupancy?
•
Does the budget provide for
future dock expansion or replacement?
•
Are there additional revenue
opportunities in the development that aren’t being considered?
•
Does the project meet
regulatory requirements, or can it be modified
•
to restore or enhance the
local ecosystem?
By addressing these and other issues, ATM’s experience-driven planning
process results in economically sound and environmentally acceptable
development.
ATM's
team of marina and development experts have planned, designed, and
engineered more than
400 marina projects supporting both public and private interests
throughout the world, providing all-inclusive feasibility, design,
permitting, environmental consulting, and construction consultation
services.
We have been providing environmental and engineering services to the
international community for more than 20 years. ATM’s specialized
expertise in international development includes coastal engineering,
environmental engineering and science, marina and waterfront
development, design evaluation, surveying and mapping, and ecological
protection and mitigation, as well as assistance with marketing and
financing. ATM professionals have long been associated with the
Urban Land Institute (ULI) and routinely work with
project lenders and financiers.
We have directed marina construction projects worth approximately $100
million in just the last two years including Yacht Haven Grande, the
most advanced joint marina and upland facility in the Americas. We
direct projects in the Caribbean, Europe, Asia, and beyond, including
the long-term, comprehensive plan in Dubai—the fastest-growing tourist
and resort development area in the world.

MARKET STUDIES
& BUSINESS PLANNING |
In addition to standard
business yardsticks, our engineers and analysts have developed tools
specifically designed for the evaluation of marinas. These tools
facilitate the assessment of market demand, existing facility value,
and potential future performance. Accurate market demand projections
provide a clear vision of facility size, characteristics, and
amenities needed to attract boaters.
Market position will dictate rate structures and initial capital
investment while boater trends, cruising circuits, and seasonality
will drive occupancy and slip absorption.
One of the more valuable tools in marina planning is ATM’s
marina-specific pro forma analysis that predicts income and expenses
over time (usually 10 years). Multiple “what if” scenarios can be
quickly evaluated by combining the estimated construction costs,
market data, income opportunities, and the costs of doing business
into a single numerical tool.
This proprietary tool can also be used to predict the effects of:
• Phasing Construction
• Using Alternative Construction Materials
• Increasing Staffing
• Slowing Absorption of Proposed Slips
In this way, both project feasibility and a recommended
course are determined up front.
Services & capabilities include:
• Market Analysis
• Feasibility Studies
• Financial Analysis & Pro Formas
|
MARINE
ENGINEERING
& DESIGN |
Marine structures pose
uncommon challenges for the developer and the engineering team.
These structures must be designed to survive unpredictable and
extreme pressures from:
• Loads
• Storms
• Waves |
• Tides
• Currents
• Winds |
Structures must endure constant wet-dry cycles and a corrosive
environment. Additionally, marine structures have an impact upon
local hydrodynamics, sediment transport, and marine habitat.
ATM’s coastal and structural engineers are experienced in addressing
the challenges of marine structure development and placement. Our
extensive working knowledge of coastal environments and practical
experience gives us a unique understanding of the site-specific
needs of coastal structures and their effect on natural systems.
Leading lending institutions call on ATM’s expertise to conduct
comprehensive due-diligence inspections for risk assessment on
marine structures and to evaluate marina facilities being considered
for their portfolios.
Services & capabilities include:
• Due Diligence
• Oceanographic Studies & Surveys
• Structures
• Construction Services |

FACILITIES
PLANNING
& LAYOUT |
When laying out a new
marina or improving an existing facility, ATM goes beyond basic
marina design practices. Working as an integrated team with
developers, land planners, architects, and public agencies, we
provide unique, physically viable layout solutions that integrate
client vision, market factors, and practical engineering principles.
The resulting facilities effectively balance aesthetic requirements
and operational effectiveness.
Our planning and design experience covers the full spectrum of
waterfront facilities ranging from private marinas to resort
developments to revitalized urban waterfronts.
Services & capabilities include:
• Marina Layouts
• Upland Programming

|
ENVIRONMENTAL
PERMITTING
& CONSENSUS-BUILDING |
The popularity of
waterfront living and recreation has put increasing pressure on
coastal resources all over the world. Access to the water is at a
premium, and new development must be balanced against the unplanned
destruction of natural areas.
ATM approaches every marina and brownfield waterfront project with
the philosophy that responsible waterfront development sustains and
enhances our shared natural coastal resources. Our clients learn
that projects don’t have to be an either/or proposition.
With mutual objectives, innovation, and solid science and
engineering, we negotiate regulatory issues with the authorities and
provide solutions that both meet client goals and allow them to take
pride in the environmental aspects of their projects.
Services & capabilities include:
• Regulatory Approvals
• Environmental Assessments (EA)/
Environmental Impact Statements (EIS)
|

CONSULTING |
Services & capabilities include:
• Public-Private Partnerships
• Operations Plans
• Financial Management & Capital Financing |
