“It was a pleasure working with you this past year on our new store in Waterloo, IA. I felt everything went very smooth after our first pre-construction meeting in your office. Your firm diligently followed our prototype, efficiently communicated with my Construction Counterpart Dirk Howard and myself, and turned over our store with minimal punchlist items on schedule. I would recommend your development company to other retailers and look forward to working with you on additional stores in the future.”

"Barnes & Noble has just completed a very successful project in Waterloo, Iowa. Lockard Development handled the design and drawing phase very expeditiously. Lockard turned over to Barnes & Noble a quality shell - any and all open items were dealt with in a timely manner.

As we merchandised the store and approached our opening date, Lockard Development, in particular Jamie Fettkether, was proactive in finalizing all site and shell issues to ensure a quality presentation at our Family and Friends opening.

We extend our appreciation to all at Lockard development who had a hand in making this a successful project."

"You have been an invaluable asset to our company as we began the initial phase of locating markets in Iowa in which to place new stores. It truly has been a privilege utilizing your expertise as brokers for Dollar Tree Stores within Iowa.

We look forward to an ongoing working relationship with you and your company, and we would not hesitate to recommend your services to other retailers."

"Every once in awhile an ingenious, innovative and professional organization does something so outstanding as to elevate them above the normal vendor-customer relationship. Such was the case when Lockard Development facilitated the creation of our Dubuque SuperCenter this past year.

I'm simply unable to articulate the level of integrity, expertise, and skill Lockard Development demonstrated during each phase of the project that culminated in the development of a state-of-the-art, top-flight facility. Everyone at Goodwill Industries applauds your work and admires the manner in which you deliver service to your customers."

“It has been a pleasure working with you on our new Famous Footwear store located in Blackhawk Village Shopping Center in Cedar Falls, Iowa. Your professionalism and attention to each detail have been impressive from the first step of locating a space, through the lease negotiation process, and then on to the actual build-out of the space. You…have been excellent to work with as you are…hardworking guys with integrity. Once we had our deal done, you moved at “warp” speed on the lease and store design process. I look forward to working with you again in the future and would not hesitate to recommend your services to other retailers.”

"It is encouraging when a company such as Lockard take an interest in Hobby Lobby. It is very important to us that we work with loyal people who understand the real estate needs of Hobby Lobby and do business with integrity. By the way, Brian Neltner with Kimco has also recognized this in Lockard and has highly recommended you to us.

We will certainly look at any opportunities that you bring our way and we look forward to working with you as opportunities are presented."

“I would like to compliment you and your staff for their performance during the construction of our project. It was a pleasure working with Jamie Fettkether, whose dedication and diligence kept the project moving on schedule, and enables us to meet our stringent deadlines. As our business continues to expand, we look forward to working with your firm for our future construction projects.”

"The closing of the Kohl's in Austin represent a major accomplishment in my career. It is the largest single tenant transaction, at almost $19 million, I have closed in my career with over 400 closings. Although there were a few bumps in the road, your professionalism and the diligence of the Lockard team including the services of Dave Mason got a difficult job done with a minimum of pain. I sincerely appreciate having the opportunity to represent Lockard in this sale."
