MAXIMIZING SPACE & EFFICIENCY

Capitol-Husting, based in Milwaukee, WI, is a premium wine and spirits wholesale distributor in Wisconsin. What has set their company apart from their competition is being a family owned and locally operated wholesaler representing a product portfolio that includes nationally renowned brands as well as local & regional independent distilleries. Their 200 total employees sell, service and deliver throughout the entire state of Wisconsin.

THE CHALLENGE

Facing the challenge of limited space for expansion within their current building, Capitol-Husting initiated plans to construct a two-story addition. This addition aimed not only to expand their warehousing and logistics footprint but also to accommodate internal training sessions, add office space, and provide new employee facilities. Our team stepped in to outline a path forward that would enable them to retain their existing building while adding the much-needed space to maximize efficiency. Our in-house architects and engineers developed plans for the addition that allowed for minimal disruption to their current business activities while providing state-of-the-art enhancements to their operations. Additionally, our construction team faced the challenge of building within a confined space along the side and behind the building, which was adjacent to overhead power lines.

THE RESULT

The end result was a brand new 45,000 SF two-story addition (22,500 SF per floor) designed with aesthetics, collaboration, warehousing, and logistics in mind. This addition features temperature and humidity-controlled warehousing areas throughout the facility, with the second floor capable of supporting 125 lb per square foot. It also includes new office and training rooms, employee lockers, kitchen space, and 4 truck bays for logistic operations.

We are very pleased with the work the Briohn team did to support our expansion. The building is beautiful and functional, and allows us to grow into the space even more in the near future.
