Atlas believes quality properties are in demand even in weak markets; and focuses on developing projects with superior location, architectural integrity and strong tenancies in areas where Atlas enjoys a distinct competitive advantage. Through established relationships in the commercial property market and an unyielding entrepreneurial spirit, Atlas is able to make opportunistic acquisitions of under developed real estate and reposition projects by developing quality centers that will stand the test of time.

Atlas believes in making higher than average investments in its projects to support its commitment to architectural quality. Additionally, by understanding the entitlement process and by pre-leasing its projects, Atlas is able to mitigate risk on each project before beginning construction.

At Atlas, the cost of construction and return-on-equity for projects consistently exceeds those of the competition. Long term tenancies and stable property income streams are established by levering Atlas' existing relationships with national retailers and class A industrial / commercial office tenants.
