Our experienced staff employs an integrated marina development process to include market research, financial planning tools, environmental considerations, and engineering that result in market-sensitive designs that maximize return on investment. We have been involved with over 500 waterfront projects worldwide including the planning, design, and construction of the major marinas on the Dubai waterfront.

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.
