At Altman Management Company, a New President Makes Her First Year Count

Edwards describes Joel Altman, chairman and co-CEO of The Altman Cos., as “superbly charming—a big reason I joined the organization. He’s been nothing but cordial, respectful, understanding and supportive of me.” But would he embrace change to go along with new blood?

Edwards shares a story that’s illustrative and seemingly small—but it’s only small if employee morale doesn’t matter to you. When she visited various Altman properties, she learned that the site teams didn’t like the fit or feel of the uniforms. (Site teams are composed of property managers, assistant property managers, resident representatives, and maintenance. “They are on the front lines of our image,” Edwards says.) This was no joke: Complaints and even lawsuits about uniforms—for example, in the airline industry—became front-page news from 2017 to 2020.

Edwards was told that it was useless, that Altman would never allow the longstanding uniforms and dress codes to be changed. Still, she wrote up a new uniform policy, one more flexible and individualistic, and told her new boss about the pervasive complaints. Altman accepted her recommendations on the spot and allowed her to implement them.

“Part of me coming on board was to help our third-party business, other clients that we manage on behalf of,” Edwards explains. “We manage more sites than we own. Clients are attracted to boutique company like Altman rather than the Greystars and the bigwigs of the world that have 600,000 apartment homes across the U.S. We have about 8,000. We can give our clients more attention.”

And how does new business come across the threshold? “Part of our sourcing is through brokers,” such as Cushman & Wakefield, Edwards says. “They know their clients are looking for management companies once they purchase.”

To illustrate the type of personalized service Altman provides, Edwards refers to what she calls a “double-deal” In Broward County. “Fort Lauderdale has been our first foray into building the business this year,” she says. “In downtown Fort Lauderdale, there’s the 26-story highrise called New River Yacht Club and right behind it, a property called Regatta. The client works on behalf of a group based in China, and the properties were purchased for cash.” This was a big score for Altman Management, and for Edwards, because the two buildings—479 units total—would be managed as one asset.

To Edwards, the fact that this key deal came together in Fort Lauderdale is no surprise. She’s bullish on the city. She had worked in South Florida previously (for the top-tier management companies Pinnacle, Riverstone and Greystar), before heading to North Carolina in 2017 for a three-year, senior vice-presidential tenure at RE Carroll Management.

“When I left in 2017, Fort Lauderdale was very different,” she recalls. At that time, the real estate boom was nascent, but real. She’d named properties and helped design logos and exteriors—but nothing was tangible. “Four years later and the properties that I’d started are fully built,” she says with delight. “I’ve been doing this for 25 years and occupancies are higher than I’ve ever seen them.”

He also was the executive editor for B2B magazines for Acura and Honda Financial Services, and he served as travel editor for Conde Nast. Magazines under Limsky’s editorship have garnered more than 75 industry awards.

He has also written for many of the country’s top newspapers and magazines, including The New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Miami Herald, Boston Globe, USA Today, Worth, Robb Report, Afar, Time Out New York, National Geographic Traveler, Men’s Journal, Ritz-Carlton, Elite Traveler, Florida Design, Metropolis and Architectural Digest Mexico.

Altman Management Company Announces Management of 21-Story Regatta at New River Residential Tower in Downtown Fort Lauderdale

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL - Altman Management Company (AMC), a division of The Altman Companies, will now be managing Regatta at New River, a 21-story luxury, riverside residential tower located at 416 SW 1st Avenue in the heart of Downtown Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

“We are so pleased to add the Regatta at New River to the list of high-end communities that AMC manages in South Florida,” said Seth Wise, co-CEO of The Altman Companies. “This is a true testament to our third-party management skills and services, and AMC’s ability to not only meet but exceed the expectations of our clients.”

Regatta at New River redefines upscale living with spectacular amenities, modern floorplans, and a prime location by the water. With studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments, Regatta at New River offers its residents spacious kitchens including Italian cabinetry, quartz countertops, tile backsplashes, high-efficiency stainless steel Samsung appliances (including Wi-Fi-enabled ovens), and other high-end finishes. Spa-like bathrooms with oversized double sinks and separate showers/baths are available in most masters, as well as large, open living areas with floor-to-ceiling windows, most apartment homes   have Fort Lauderdale river views.

Regatta at New River luxury amenities include a gorgeous riverside resort-style pool and deck with hot tub, grilling area, an outdoor bar, cabanas, flatscreen TVs, firepits, and a life-size chess game. The nautical-themed grand lobby and common areas include an on-site business/meeting area, state-of-the-art fitness center, his/her locker rooms, and dry sauna—all with strategic partition placements and isolated stations to maximize health and wellbeing. Additionally, an exclusive residents’ lounge with seating areas, billiards, TVs, and a full kitchen is a favorite gathering spot.

“We recently began managing the New River Yacht Club and now look forward to providing the same superior level of management services to its sister property, Regatta at New River,” added Lee Ann Edwards, President of Altman Management Company. “We are excited to share the exceptional living experience that The Altman Companies is known for.”    

Located within walking distance to Downtown Fort Lauderdale’s exciting and popular business, shopping, and dining venues and just minutes from the beach, this well-appointed community is a resident’s dream.

In addition, the New River Yacht Club, the adjoining apartment community to the Regatta at New River, from the same developers, will soon be renamed Regatta at New River. Altman Management Company, which recently began the management of New River Yacht Club, will now manage both properties under the Regatta brand.

A Long History of Boat Expertise

Northshore Marine Sales & Service, formerly Yacht Works, was formed over fifteen years ago by Gerald Sellar and two other partners. Not long after the formation, Gerald became sole owner of the company. A Northeasterner, specifically Massachusetts, Gerald’s interest in sailing started at around age 12. One of his first jobs was for a company that produced surfboards, single person sailboats and commercial fiberglass parts. Once into adulthood, Gerald embarked upon a career in diving, salvage and then oilfield work which brought him to South Louisiana and ultimately Mandeville.

How We Can Help

If you have a question about any service or product related to boats, we have the answer. We’re here to take the mystery out of boat repairs and make boat ownership pleasurable.

Gerald’s commitment to Northshore Marine is proven every day as he fields questions for boat owners based on his experience and relationships he has cultivated throughout the years. This commitment extends to our staff which includes a certified mechanic with a tenure of eight years and skilled boatyard laborers.

What Makes Us Stand Out?

We are well versed in decommissioning and commissioning boats for transport including standing masts and sailboat rigging. We also offer welding services in the MIG and TIG processes.

Our Location and Setup

Northshore Marine is strategically located on Bayou Castine, the gateway to Lake Pontchartrain from the east side of Old Mandeville where almost all of Old Mandeville’s marinas are located. Our location allows us to service not only our local clients in St. Tammany Parish, but those on the Gulf Coast extending into the Florida panhandle and beyond. Our location includes a covered boathouse, a dock for hauling and re-launching, several slips for staging and a large yard to accommodate many boats. Finally, our location is situated on a dead end street allowing ample room for large vehicles (semis and similar) to enter and exit for drop off and pick up.

Our Inventory

Our equipment inventory includes one Marine Travelift with a maximum capability of handling boats up to 17 feet wide and 15 tons, a crane for lifting boats and unstepping and restepping masts, a sanitary pump out station, a tow boat, welding equipment and everything in between needed for boat repair. We’ve been at this a long time, so we have what it takes to get the job done!

We also maintain a stocked retail store offering items needed for repair, maintenance and hardware for rigging, plumbing and decking. We keep a limited stock of most commonly used impellers and belts along with a variety of electrical supplies. If we don’t have your part in stock, no problem. We can get it the next day (in most cases). We’re here to help and get you back in the water!

We would love to work on your boat! Call us today with any questions you have or to schedule a service.

NEW CONSTRUCTION

Artisan Boatworks’ team of master wooden boat builders have partnered with visionary owners to build more licensed replicas of Herreshoff designs than any other builder since HMCo closed its doors in 1944.

Over the past two decades our craftsmen have earned a reputation for the world’s finest custom replicas of classic daysailers, runabouts, launches, Downeast picnic boats, and rowing craft. For the true connoisseur of natural materials we employ traditional plank-on-frame construction, and for cutting-edge performance we excel in the application of cold-molded epoxy, sheathed strip, and carbon-fiber composites – all while maintaining the timeless beauty that embodies the spirit and intention of yachting’s greatest designers.

RESTORATION

No wooden boat with significant history and pedigree is beyond repair. Our team of restoration specialists has developed a renowned understanding of the research, appraisal, and approach necessary to return important heirlooms to as new or better condition, which is why the most discerning owners throughout the world continue to bring their projects to Artisan Boatworks.

Our particularly holistic approach to restoration is built on several decades of experience lofting and re-establishing hull shape and sheer, identifying and correcting short-sighted fixes and engineering deficiencies; and preserving original design details, materials, and techniques.

STORAGE/SERVICE

Our clients are extremely proud of their wooden boats, and recognize that specialized off-season storage and expert finishing are critical to their health, appearance, and performance.  The service department at Artisan Boatworks cares for over sixty of these distinguished wooden boats, rivaling the capacity of any such yard in the Northeast. Our greatest source of pride, however, is our reputation for the extraordinary level of individualized customer service, world class standard of finish, and custom tailored maintenance services we bestow upon each and every boat and owner.

From New York to Northeast Harbor – experienced wooden boat owners choose Artisan Boatworks’ full service “mooring to mooring” storage and maintenance program for our proven efficiency, accountability, and because we love the boats in our care like family.
