Intrigued by the potential of a neighborhood shopping center in burgeoning Southwest Bend in the early 2000s, Walt pursued the opportunity and turned the vision into a reality. The four-acre development became a successful 50,000 SF grocery-anchored shopping center. As president of the project, Walt’s leadership skills and understanding of the many facets of ground-up commercial development, earned him a professional rapport with everyone involved. “My background as a developer and as a state licensed assistant appraiser sets me apart. I’ve purchased bare dirt and gone vertical. I’ve been in the trenches. I’ve been the one personally guaranteed on a note. I’ve experienced development pressures first-hand and understand how to perform and build a project under budget, on time or ahead of schedule. I’ve been the one doing the lease up and put those leases in place. That experience gives me a unique perspective because of all the intricacies that come with constructing something, while keeping in mind the leasability of the product to achieve the overall return for my clients and their partners.” –Walt Ramage Walt is one of the few native Oregonians and has been in Bend since 1993.
