Atlantic-AE

What Atlantic-AE does

Atlantic-AE is a privately held, remote-based architectural services firm headquartered in Longwood, Florida, that delivers commercial architecture across six verticals: Program Delivery, Industrial, Retail, Self-Storage, EV Charging Stations, and Data Centers. The firm operates as Atlantic-AE, PLLC with a related subsidiary Atlantic Architecture, LLC, and is led by President and Principal Brandon Hartwick alongside co-Principal Eric Smith. Services include site feasibility studies, building information modeling (BIM), 3D and virtual reality visualization, prototype delivery, and full design-to-construction administration support, with distributed staff across 30-plus U.S. cities and Puerto Rico enabling nationwide project delivery without a traditional headquarters.

The business model is professional services fee-for-engagement, with no publicly disclosed pricing and revenue generated through project-based architectural contracts sourced via industry referrals, partnerships, and conference presence (AIA, PTC, ACT Expo). Atlantic AE segments clients by vertical rather than by company size, serving multi-tenant commercial real estate, logistics operators, retail brands, self-storage developers, commercial fleet operators seeking BEV infrastructure, and data center developers. The BB-EV joint venture (formed May 2023 with Bryan Builders, Facility Resource Partners, and Dubak Electrical Group) extends the firm into turnkey fleet electrification infrastructure. Distribution is direct enterprise field sales with a relationship-driven, partnership-led 5-step engagement model; marketing is concentrated in LinkedIn, blog content, email newsletter, and industry conferences.

Revenue, ownership, and capital structure are not publicly disclosed; no funding rounds, institutional investors, or acquisitions are recorded. Atlantic AE claims over 200 combined years of expertise across a team that includes multiple senior leaders with 20-40+ years of individual experience in commercial, industrial, retail, and mixed-use architecture.
