Hendrick Construction Wins Award for Work on The Fillmore Charlotte

Charlotte, N.C., Dec. 17, 2009 … Hendrick Construction, Inc. won an Excellence In Construction Eagle award from the Carolinas chapter of Associated Builders and Contractors, Inc. (ABC) for renovating The Fillmore Charlotte in Uptown.

ABC’s Awards of Excellence Program is the construction industry’s premier competition, and it recognizes outstanding construction projects across the Carolinas.

“We’re excited that the Fillmore project received this recognition,” said Roger Hendrick, president of Hendrick Construction. “We transformed a historic mill with covenants and restrictions into a state-of-the-art music venue with cutting-edge technology.”

The Fillmore Charlotte, a 20,000-square-foot music venue, opened in June 2009 at the North Carolina Music Factory’s entertainment complex in Fourth Ward. The building was once a historic Charlotte manufacturing site; it now features a blend of original materials and wall finishes with modern fixtures and VIP areas with granite countertops and burnished ceramic tiles.

With a capacity of 2,000 patrons, The Fillmore Charlotte attracts national acts and is the largest night club of its kind in the region. The project’s design is based on the original Fillmore, the world-famous music venue in San Francisco.
