Trained directly in the field and on live files, she already knows the firm’s working methods, its clients and the markets it covers. This continuity allows her to work independently on prospecting, business development and transaction follow-up.

She supports retailers with their location searches and roll-out strategies across France.

A career built within the firm

Ornella discovered commercial real estate on a work-study programme at ATC Immobilier, alongside the firm’s consultants.

This hands-on training allowed her to learn the profession on real files: qualifying premises, preparing marketing materials, contacting owners and retailers, organising viewings and following up on discussions.

At the end of her work-study programme, she chose to stay with the firm as a consultant, responsible for business development nationwide. She now works with an established knowledge of the working methods, clients and markets covered by ATC Immobilier.

This continuity is a real asset for the files entrusted to her: it shortens the time needed to get up to speed, ensures continuity of follow-up and guarantees a reading consistent with the firm’s practice.

Business development nationwide

Ornella leads the firm’s business development with retailers across France.

She identifies retailers in an expansion phase, qualifies their location criteria and initiates the discussions needed to secure search mandates.

This national approach extends the firm’s regional roots. It makes it possible to support a retailer across several cities, beyond the markets of the South of France, and to ensure continuity of follow-up from one opening to the next.

Supporting retailers and project leaders

Ornella analyses the location searches entrusted to the firm: target area, floor area, visibility, technical constraints and the financial balance of the project.

This qualification makes it possible to present retailers and operators with a consistent shortlist of locations and to smooth discussions with owners.

Her knowledge of the field allows her to assess quickly whether premises suit a concept, beyond their physical characteristics alone.

She then follows each file through to the negotiation stages conducted with the firm’s consultants.

Monitoring the markets covered by the firm

Ornella tracks changes on the main retail streets of the cities covered by ATC Immobilier: premises available now or soon to become vacant, retailer movements and new openings.

This monitoring feeds the firm’s market knowledge and helps identify certain opportunities before they come to market.

She works closely with ATC Immobilier’s consultants, passing on the information she gathers and coordinating with them on the follow-up of current mandates.
