IN: SYNCS

WMG Development’s sustained success can be attributed to a range of different factors: a unique origin story, a distinctive cultural identity, and, perhaps most importantly, a level of demonstrated depth of resources, experience, and expertise.

There is no better illustration of how that expertise can be a difference-maker for WMG clients than the innovative SYNCS program that the company has developed and deployed to great effect on behalf of select retail clients. SYNCS is a streamlined approach to project delivery that leverages all of WMG’s assets, resources, and operational innovation. SYNCS utilizes concurrent construction processes, strategic material purchasing and warehousing, shared architectural and engineering expertise, and smart procurement services to consolidate timelines and expedite deliveries within WMG’s commercial real estate construction operations.

SYNCS is a somewhat tongue-in-cheek acronym for Serving Your New Customers Sooner. But for clients who are in a position to take advantage of freestanding buildings and select multi-use commercial properties, the impact of the program is no joke. On average, SYNCS’ efficiencies decrease the time from construction documents to retail opening by 15%—weeks or even months faster than with a traditional construction process.

The collaborative nature of the process and its inventively efficient results are consistent with the work of a company that touts its unmatched retail development toolkit and lives a strong and enduring culture of service. It’s also a testament to the longstanding working relationships that WMG has built and maintained with some of the biggest and most successful partners in the business. A clear departure from industry norms and standard practices, SYNCS is an outside-the-box approach from a company unafraid to not just think differently but to put inspired ideas into action to disrupt the industry and deliver meaningful results for clients, communities, and professional partners.

Strong partnerships and enduring relationships

• Because the success of SYNCS requires client buy-in, strong communication, and coordination, WMG’s success in the commercial and retail development space is a testament to the longstanding partnerships and close working relationships the company has built and maintained over the years.
• The impact of the program extends well beyond individual real estate project timelines. The places and spaces WMG and its partners build together have both an immediate and a long-term positive effect on the communities they serve.
• SYNCS also requires both trust and flexibility on the part of retailers and the deep insight that comes from WMG’s nuanced understanding of their clients’ preferences, priorities, and operational mechanics.
