ATM is known throughout
the industry for its full-service, turnkey approach to marina & waterfront
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
waterfront development consultants, planners, designers, engineers,
ecological scientists, water quality experts, marina business
analysts, and operations 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 over $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 |
ATM's marina
consultants approach each development holistically to
generate maximum, sustainable benefits. We believe

and private projects.
Services & capabilities include:
• Marina Consulting, Planning, & Design
• Public-Private Partnerships
