Now under the second and third generation of Atkins family leadership Atkins Companies’ foundation of success is built on relationships
our handshake and your word are your bond – more im- portant than any written contract.” Guided by those 14 words espoused by its founder S. Stephen Atkins, West Orange, NJ-based Atkins Compa- nies has steadily grown from humble roots as a post-World War II homebuilder into one of the northeast’s premier healthcare real estate inves- tors and operators. Now under the second and third generation of Atkins family leadership, Atkins Companies’ decades-long com- mitment to a relationship-first approach has powered its suc- cess and ongoing evolution in what has become one of the nation’s most competitive and crowded asset classes. Decades in the making, Atkins Companies’ entrance into the healthcare industry has truly been a multigen- erational family affair. Under the leadership of S. Stephen’s sons Robert, Chick and Jack, as well as his grandson Cory, Atkins Companies has suc- cessfully built upon its devel- opment roots and relation- ship-first approach to cement its role as a pioneer in the de- velopment and management of stateof-the-art medical of- fice facilities. Working closely with many of the region’s largest healthcare systems and physician groups includ- ing RWJBarnabas Health, Atlantic Health and Summit Health, Atkins Companies has helped to define the gold standard for community-focused outpa- tient medical office buildings. With visionary leadership and hands-on management of every property in its portfolio, Atkins Companies has suc- cessfully created spaces where leading healthcare providers deliver care to thousands of patients across the northeast. Emblematic of the compa- ny’s focus on creating spaces geared to the evolving needs of healthcare providers are two of its recent success stories - Washington Square Town Center and the Bridgewater Medical Office projects. Aiming to construct one of the region’s first healthcare- centric mixed-use commu- nities, Atkins Companies worked closelywithWoodmont Properties to construct the 35-acre Washington Square “Y
ing, the property also boasts a combination of residential apartments, townhomes, retail spaces, and an assisted living facility to create a truly one- of-a-kind community center in the heart of southern New Jersey. Currently leased to a diverse slate of healthcare tenants including Rothman Orthopaedic Institute, Wash- ington Square Town Center showcases how Atkins Com- panies’ creativity continually helps its healthcare partners deliver care more effectively into their local communities. Further showcasing the com-
pany’s creativity and unique understanding of today’s care delivery model is its recent project to transform a 95,000 s/f hybrid office/medical office building in Bridgewater, N.J. into a regional healthcare hub for two of the area’s largest networks. Completed in late 2020, the project exemplified Atkins Companies’ ability to not only find value in an increasingly crowded market but create spaces geared to the needs of the region’s leading healthcare providers. Through their visionary strategic planning and creative
asset management, Atkins Companies has continually met the diverse space needs of healthcare providers and has helped them make immeasur- able impacts in the lives of patients across the region. As the company looks towards the future of a rapidly chang- ing healthcare industry, their family leadership knows that one thing will never change – their singular focus on build- ing relationships with their partners through a steadfast commitment to integrity and trustworthiness in all of their work.
