Boston, MA The Dartmouth Company and Atlas Commercial Real Estate have merged to create Dartmouth Property Management, LLC, a full-service commercial and retail property management and advisory division of The Dartmouth Company.

Dartmouth Property Management will represent private and institutional landlords in buying, selling, leasing, building, adding value and managing their respective properties.

The new division is led by Atlas founder and commercial real estate veteran Robert Macnamara, who brings three decades of experience in construction, logistics, leasing and asset management. He has negotiated more than 10 million s/f of commercial, industrial and retail lease, working with a wide range of tenants including Verizon, Comcast, FedEx, Urban Outfitters/Anthropologie, Peoples United Bank, Legal Seafood’s, Planet Fitness and David’s Tea.

“I’m thrilled to join The Dartmouth Company to launch this new division and deliver the kind of high-quality, client-focused service Dartmouth is known for,” Macnamara said. “Our team has the experience, regional expertise and the depth of knowledge to deliver the successful management plans and services our wide range of clients deserve.”

Before founding Atlas in 2011, Macnamara was Senior Vice President of Boston-based Cresset Development. Macnamara also served as Chief Operating Officer for KS Partners LLC, and President of Wellesley Management Corporation. There, he oversaw the renovation and development of the one million sq. ft. Clock Tower Place in Maynard, taking it from vacant to 100 percent leased within 20 months. Macnamara served as Executive Director of the Bayside Expo Center in Boston -- then the City’s largest convention and expo center -- and has managed and developed several resort condominium projects, multifamily, restaurant and hotel properties.

The creation of Dartmouth Property Management will expand Dartmouth’s portfolio of highly-specialized commercial real estate services to better serve its clients.

From entering new markets through strategic rollouts to tactical relocation and redevelopments, The Dartmouth Company works closely with its clients as an extension of their real estate team to form comprehensive strategies, utilizing our extensive market knowledge with an understanding of our clients’ needs. Founded on service and professionalism, our company offers clients national reach, regional office and local on-the-ground market intelligence to stay ahead of emerging market trends.
