North American is one of Florida's premier commercial real estate developers
respected for its high standards, strong attention to detail and focus on the
retailer's customers. The Fort Myers' office develops all types of commercial
projects, from small neighborhood centers and power centers to mixed-use
developments and multi-family communities. It has built a reputation throughout
the region for premier commercial developments that address the needs of
retailers, with a primary focus on grocery-anchored neighborhood centers.

Founded in 1954, North American Properties and its affiliate offices have
developed 17.5 million square feet of retail space, approximately 11,000
apartment units and well over one million square feet of office space across 13
states. Since its inception in 1988, the Ft. Myers office has developed or
currently has under development 3.5 million square feet of commercial space,
acquired and/or developed over 1,000 apartment units, and entitled and

Experience
The Ft. Myers office is led by a team of professionals with more than a half

office parks, to multi-family projects, this team has expertise in virtually
all types of development.

Community groups and government agencies alike have recognized Hafele's
development team as "community-conscious and attentive planners." Respected by
industry players throughout the Southeast, Adkins has developed strong
relationships with numerous national and regional retailers and brings to the
site selection process a unique understanding of how to assess site suitability
from a retailer's perspective. McIntyre has a wealth of entitlement and
permitting experience throughout the State of Florida, and Browne complements
the team with an intuitive perspective on strategic asset management.
Long-Term Strategy
Florida's continuing population growth coupled with a limited supply of
properly zoned, concurrent retail sites has given rise in the Ft. Myers office
to a long-term develop-and -hold strategy, making North American Properties
unique in the Florida development community. From the selection of
traditional (non-trendy) architectural styles to the use of native
landscape and building materials that facilitate control of maintenance costs,
this long-term develop-and-hold strategy is considered in every decision North
American Properties makes during the development process and is evident in the
final product. The Ft. Myers office has a strong property management team,
which manages and continues to add value to approximately $100 million of
assets owned by the principals of North American Properties.
