  In supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model, the Fermi scale of
electroweak symmetry breaking is determined by the pattern of supersymmetry
breaking. We present an example, motivated by a higher-dimensional GUT model,
where a particular mass relation between the gauginos, third-generation squarks
and Higgs fields of the MSSM leads to a Fermi scale smaller than the soft mass
scale. This is in agreement with the measured Higgs boson mass. The mu
parameter is generated independently of supersymmetry breaking, however the mu
problem becomes less acute due to the little hierarchy between the soft mass
scale and the Fermi scale as we will argue. The resulting superparticle mass
spectra depend on the localization of quark and lepton fields in higher
dimensions. In one case, the squarks of the first two generations as well as
the gauginos and higgsinos can be in the range of the LHC. Alternatively, only
the higgsinos may be accessible at colliders. The lightest superparticle is the
gravitino.
