ECI Group Atlanta Headquarters Relocation: 22,000 SF Workplace Transformation

ECI Group has built its reputation on creating communities where people want to live. As the organization continued to evolve, leadership recognized the need for a workplace that better aligned with its brand, culture, and future growth. The company envisioned a headquarters that would strengthen connections between teams, create a more engaging employee experience, and support the way people work today, all while remaining mindful of budget and schedule requirements.

Relocating a headquarters is never simply a move. ECI Group faced the challenge of transforming a new space within its existing campus while maintaining business continuity and meeting an aggressive six-month timeline from concept through occupancy.

The new workplace needed to:

• Support more efficient workflows across departments

• Create a variety of spaces for collaboration and focused work

• Increase access to daylight and improve the overall employee experience

• Blend existing assets with new investments to maximize budget efficiency

• Be fully operational within a compressed project schedule

Success required careful coordination between design, construction, and workplace strategy teams to ensure every milestone stayed on track. Corporate Environments partnered with ECI Group to guide the workplace transformation from planning through move-in. By understanding the organization's goals, culture, and operational needs, the team developed a workplace solution focused on business outcomes rather than simply furnishing a new office. The approach balanced budget stewardship, schedule management, and workplace performance to ensure the new headquarters would support both current needs and future growth.

Working alongside MurphyMeyers, the project team aligned design, construction, and workplace implementation efforts to keep the project moving forward. Through close coordination and proactive problem-solving, the team maintained momentum throughout the accelerated schedule and delivered a seamless transition into the new headquarters.

The completed 22,000-square-foot headquarters provides ECI Group with a workplace that reflects its brand and supports how employees work today. Enhanced access to natural light creates a brighter and more connected environment, while thoughtfully planned workspaces and meeting areas support both individual productivity and team collaboration. A mix of private offices, workstations, and collaborative zones gives employees greater choice in how and where they work.

The new layout improves departmental connectivity, streamlines workflow, and encourages interaction across teams. By strategically incorporating existing assets alongside new investments, ECI Group achieved a refreshed workplace experience while maintaining budget efficiency. Most importantly, the project was delivered within the aggressive six-month timeline, enabling employees to quickly transition into a workplace designed to support engagement, collaboration, and long-term organizational success.
