Development Experience
Mr. Bratton comes from a family of developers and started in the late 70’s as a carpenter on family developments in both California and
Hawaii. In 1981, he enrolled in the Real Estate degree program in the business school at San Diego State University. With a formalized
education in Real Estate investment and development, Mr. Bratton moved to Hawaii to begin his career.
Arriving in Kailua, Kona in 1983, Mr. Bratton partnered to be an owner of Keauhou Kona Realty. In Kona, the partnership specialized in new
developments including Keauhou Estates which was an expansion of the Keauhou golf course and the planning of 80 single-family lots
and two condo projects. Specific tasks included planning and budgeting the sculpting of this community comprised mainly of lava rock into
a resort community.
In 1985, Mr. Bratton met Andrew Friedlander while furthering his career in investment and development real estate at a Certified Commercial
Investment Member (CCIM) course in Honolulu. At that time, Mr. Bratton decided to move to Honolulu to focus exclusively on commercial
real estate. Once at Monroe & Friedlander, Inc., Mr. Bratton was assigned as junior leasing specialist for the Pearl Kai Shopping Center, an
85,000 square foot ground-up development.
In 1992, Mr. Bratton worked on the team that developed the Pearl Highlands Shopping Center (420,000 square foot power center). The
team sold the land and managed the entire development, leasing and construction process. After securing Sam’s Club as Wal-Mart Stores,
Inc.’s first store in the State, Ross Dress for Less and Old Navy soon fell into place, as anchor tenants.
Over the past five years, Mr. Bratton has worked with CNL, Marriott Resorts, Robertson Properties Group, Outrigger Enterprises, Kamehameha
Schools and The Festival Companies on each of their redevelopment projects within Waikiki. Mr. Bratton was hired on these projects
over the competition because of his expertise in the initial planning, budgeting and then execution of the leasing and marketing strategy
to meet budget and owners’ expectations. Typically, the process starts with project architects together with Mr. Bratton developing up to ten
different schemes for the development. Once the designs are agreed upon for each of these schemes, Mr. Bratton puts together the entire
pro-forma for income and expenses. The final piece to the analysis is when Mr. Bratton and the architect get construction cost estimates for
each of the development schemes. With all of this data, Mr. Bratton presents the options to the owners with the capital requirements and
the risks and rates of returns for the team to decide on a course of action. With a plan created by Mr. Bratton, there is a financial road map
created for the team to achieve its financial and development goals.
