DALLAS-The premier Tower Club will undergo a $3-million renovation as part of its 28,512-sf, class A renewal for the 48th floor of Thanksgiving Tower. The overhaul, set to begin in March, is the first full-body makeover for the original tenant in the 25-year-old CBD high rise.

“It’s a total transformation that re-establishes the club for the next 30 years,” says Dave Woodyard, EVP of business and sports clubs for Dallas-based ClubCorp Inc. The 150-seat ballroom will be expanded to accommodate 250; the dining room redo will create eight private rooms, an increase of two, for parties from casual to formal dress; and offices will be relocated to expand the dining room and bar/grill areas. He says the work will take “four to five months” to complete, with the 1,700-member Tower Club staying open throughout the phased-in makeover, which will include new fixtures and furniture for ClubCorp’s flagship property in the 1.4-million-sf high rise at 1601 Elm St.

“I think Dallas is really going to love it,” Woodyard tells GlobeSt.com. The renovation cost is being shared by high-rise owner, Los Angeles-based Younan Properties Inc. Woodyard says it’s also tied to a ClubCorp plan that allocated $28 million for its 2007-08 cap ex program nationwide. In Chicago, the Mid-America Club at 200 E. Randolph Dr. is getting a $3.5-million overhaul and the Metropolitan Club at 233 S. Wacker Dr. is in line for $6 million of upgrades. The Houston City Club at One City Club Dr. is being paced through a $3-million renovation and eight other clubs each will get $1 million of upgrades.
