Multiphase Renovations Offer New Amenities for Historic Club

Location: Atlanta, Georgia

Project Overview: Charted in 1883, the Capital City Club remains one of Atlanta’s most prestigious country clubs. To provide for the evolving needs of its membership, the Club underwent several expansions and renovations in recent history. A trusted partner, Hodges & Hicks completed multiple phases of renovations over the course of ten years, starting in 2013.  Touching every aspect of the Club, each new phase adds new amenities for enjoyment while tying into the aesthetic of the existing building known for its intricate details and high-end finishes.

Highlights:

• Club remained fully operational throughout all phases of construction with clear separation between members and ongoing construction activities, prioritizing safety and minimizing disruptions.
• Phase construction plans accommodated special events and seasonal openings (like pool season) to accommodate members and ensure continuation of revenue streams.
• Seamless tie-in to existing facilities, reinforcing existing historical structures, providing continuity of desired aesthetics, and meeting building code requirements.
• Consistent oversight ensured that the quality of work put in place exceeded expectations.
• Proactive communication with board members, management, and members, including wayfinding signage, set clear expectations.
• Successful integration of new technology, HVAC, security features into a 100+ year old building.
• The Hodges & Hicks team maintained a “club-first” attitude throughout the process, accommodating requests and remaining responsive and flexible throughout the construction process.

Results: The club is able to remain competitive while offering new amenities for members that appeal to all ages and continuing to provide the back-of-house configuration to support smooth operations. All of these directly impact the overall member satisfaction.
