The HIND Group Headquarters
A high tech campus allowing the client to expand aggressively across VA
The HIND Group is expanding across the United States, Lupine has been contracted to create a bespoke campus that includes various edifices from both commercial office spaces to data centres and grade A warehousing.
The HIND Group aim to create the most innovative and progressive corporate campus on the east coast. Not only are we charged with the development of the commercial edifices, the client also wants a number of residential developments to provide excellent housing for their staff and both schools & a hospital to add to the benefits given to their employees.
Stage 1 - infrastructure & Enterprise Park
The land itself is a wonderful parcel of 1,500 acres with a gorgeous 30 acre lake.
A sustainable future
While Louisa county already has a number of Nuclear Power plants both established and planned for the future. THG want to create a sustainable future and as such they have assigned 25 acres to allow Lupine Energy to construct a Biomass Powerplant. This powerplant will not only supply the campus with clean energy, but it will also reduce wastage across the board.
Road Networks and the Transit System
One of the key driving forces for THG is sustainability and the largest contributor to pollution, carbon footprint and the need for additional space is traffic.
THG want their campus to be a low emissions site, the only way we can achieve this is if we provide a strong transit system that allows all workers to get to and from enterprise park with ease.
The Arrival electric vehicle company is forging a path in the commercial vehicle space. THG is fortunate enough to call Arrival a partner and they have agreed to use Enterprise Park as a test bed for their vehicles.
Creating scalability now will add value on the back end
Many clients look to save money by installing systems that will work fine for a few years, thankfully THG have agreed to spend a little extra on cabling and lighting systems, allowing us to install systems that are not only going to save them $$ in operating costs, but will also ensure that the building can be easily upgrading to the latest technologies as and when they become available for relatively low cost.
Its not just a nice view
Inferior glazing is one of the biggest contributors to high operating costs and can increase the amount of stress on the HVAC system which in turn reduces sustainability. THG have opted for a full review of the glazing structures and where needs be we will overhaul the entire edifices windows to ensure they are Modern and efficient at temperature control and noise reduction.
Wet Work!
At present the building has water fountains and bathrooms male and female alternating on each floor, This is fine in the 60's but lets be realistic in 2021 its not a big ask for bathrooms to be easily accessible no matter what floor you are on?
We will be reviewing the infrastructure and replacing the entire plumbing network to ensure not only is it modern and fit for purpose but built to last another 100 years.
Additional Tenants
The building currently has a wide spread of 4g base stations and communication dishes spread across the roofs of both Alexander Tower and Ryan House. We will be relocating all of these systems to Alexander Tower and those that cannot be THG has elected to have them removed.
Stage 2 - Renovations
The beautiful old girl gets a new Lease of Life
We estimate that stage two will begin at the outset of the second year, Stage two is focused on the renovations of the internals and letting THG finally take up residence in their new building. We will be working from the Top of Alexander Tower downwards.
The HIND Group International

This floor is designed to house the North American operations of THG, with their President and the Vice Presidents taking up residency here. There will be a number of private offices, small meeting rooms, a board room and a small open plan area for the corporate administrative team.

The HIND Group - Relax
Relax is THG's in house relaxation and therapy center, the floor will have a tai chi studio, quiet room, art studio as well as private offices for both the life coach and mental health professional. All of which is free to use for THG employees.
The HIND Group - Marketing
The HIND Group has multiple brands in it's stable and so the marketing department is quite an important department. This floor will have a lot of collaboration spaces, smaller meeting rooms with only one private office reserved for the Vice President of Marketing.
The HIND Group - Personnel
The personnel department has both HR and Recruitment in it so this floor must have large open spaces for the teams to work, while also having enough smaller meeting spaces that interviews can be done without a bottle neck happening.
The HIND Group - RECHARGE
Recharge is THG's own brand of sports bar, styled like a British Pub, this space will have a wide open plan feel with a long dark wood bar, it will have a pool table, darts board and a full cinema style tv system for the sports to be watched. It will also utilise the roof of Ryan House as a terrace for people to relax on in the summer months.
The Alto Volo - Enterprise Center
This space will be used by the AVF to create an incubator for all entrepreneurs starting out their journey across Macon County. This means we will need to create a space that is easily changeable, where walls can be added and removed to enlarge or shrink office spaces as each startup's needs will change.
Enterprise Center
This floor will be used to create additional lease income for THG until such a time that they can occupy it, so as part of the remodel, it will need to be easily adjustable, with internal walls being easy to add or remove creating the idea spaces for tenants when they want to lease a new office.

Current Tenants
The building has a number of Tenants spread out across the building, to allow us to work and THG to take the space it needs, they will be relocating all tenants except Neuhoff Media to the 2nd Floor of Alexander Tower. This space will need a small amount of renovation but extensive infrastructure work before tenants can be relocated.
Neuhoff Media
There is very little we need to do here, just upgrade the infrastructure to ensure it is inline with the rest of the building.
The HIND Group - Customer Centre
We will need to create one single open plan space to fit in all of the THG sales teams here, but this is a better option than spreading them across multiple floors.
Alto Volo - Enterprise Centre
This side of the Enterprise center will be laid to open plan allowing the much smaller startups and those self employeed to come and rent desks by the hour.
The HIND Group - REFUEL
REFUEL is THG's own in house restaurant that will service the entire building, this will need to be a tech smart area with contactless payment systems as well as the latest catering equipment, there is already a commercial kitchen but the majority of the equipment is outdated and will need replacing.
