 The U.S. MAXI Awards honor the highest caliber of premier marketing, community outreach, sales promotion, NOI enhancement and new media efforts within the U.S. retail real estate industry.

Atlantic Station, a mixed-use development located in the heart of Midtown Atlanta, won gold for event marketing and leasing and silver for cause related marketing.

Avalon, a $600 million mixed-use development in Alpharetta, Ga., which opens in October, won silver for public relations.

 “In addition to recognizing the achievements of our marketing program, the MAXI Awards celebrate the leasing and sales success we’ve experienced in recent years at Atlantic Station and Avalon,” said Mark Toro, managing partner of NAP.

“Sales are more than $140 per square foot higher at Atlantic Station than when we acquired the property and Avalon is 97 percent pre-leased with more than four months to go before it opens. These accomplishments are in part because of the strong marketing program we’ve established at NAP.”
