The Office of Thomas J. Martin

Retail. Our experience in retail evaluation ranges from market studies for shopping centers to downtown retail plans, to projecting the potential of a museum's retail shop. In Peabody, MA we prepared a downtown retail strategy. For the Puerto Rico Eco-Center, we optimized retail shop size based on sales potential. In Lynn, MA we evaluated a transit related retail project.

Hotels and Resorts. A key component of the travel industry is the accommodations sector. We have evaluated many hotel and resort complexes, including projects in North America, Europe and the Caribbean. We evaluated the management and operational profile for a resort complex in Pennsylvania, and projected the potential for hotel development as part of a mixed-use development in Germany.

Conference/Convention. Our experience in this specialized field includes market studies and economic impact projections for projects ranging from the proposed Megaplex in Boston to a conference center in Austin, TX.

Downtowns. There is renewed awareness of the importance of downtown areas to their communities. We have completed many plans for the revitalization of downtowns, including work in Pittsfield, MA, New Britain, CT, and Peabody, MA where we assisted in creating visions for their futures, and in formulating feasible strategies to attain their goals.
