Ventures Management Group (HVMG) Launches
Elevate
Renovations + Development
Company Expands Development, Project
Management and Advisory Services to Third-Party Hotel Owners and Operators
ATLANTA, Feb. 3, 2025—Hospitality Ventures Management Group (HVMG), an Atlanta-based third-party hotel operator and investor, today announced the launch of Elevate Renovations + Development, a third-party project manager and asset lifecycle services provider offering flexible, cost-effective solutions tailored to the unique needs of the hospitality industry.
"In
the last 20 years, HVMG has provided development
and project management services for over 65 properties in our portfolio of owned and managed hotels
throughout the country," said Robert Cole, founder, president and CEO of HVMG. "Recently, however, we began expanding our
scope and started working with owners
and operators beyond our managed portfolio who saw the value that HVMG was able to create and wanted to enjoy similar results
themselves. While we will continue to
provide these services to our own hotels, Elevate Renovations + Development is officially now open for business for the
entire hospitality industry."
Elevate
offers flexible
solutions to work with hotel owners on individual, short-term projects as well as
being a long-term partner for the lifespan of their investments to bring
hotel-specific development and renovation expertise and knowledge to their
projects. The firm provides a full suite
of development and project management services, from pre-purchase due diligence
through disposition, ensuring every detail aligns with ownership's vision and
investment goals.
The
Darwin Hotel
Elevate successfully oversaw the
$19.6 million complete renovation and rebranding of The Darwin Hotel, part of IHG's voco collection of lifestyle hotels. The team, led by Suzanne Saunders, chief elevation
officer, was responsible for all phases of project management, including
pre-development, budget oversight, scheduling, design and planning, procurement
buy-out, construction management, accounting, litigation support and
pre-opening and technical services.
Though the project began during the COVID pandemic, Elevate was still able to complete it within nine months. The rebranded, "like-new" hotel received two Gold Key Awards from Boutique
Design for Lobby & Guest Room design in 2023.
