The project consists of the construction of a new collision center and inventory garage building to be located immediately to the west of the existing BMW Dealership. The proposed garage building will be located over an unimproved surface lot that is currently being used for Inventory storage.
The ground floor of the six story multi-use garage structure will consist of a fully enclosed Collision Center, including offices, inspection bays, mechanical bays and prep & paint booths. In addition, it will also include 27 new Service Bays. The upper floors, floors 2 thru 5, will house inventory vehicles. The 6th floor will be available for employee parking. The second floor of the Garage will connect, at the east side, to the existing 2nd floor parking deck above the existing service canopy and service building. 15 parking spaces will be added to the north of the proposed structure for customer parking.
The proposed 98 foot tall (highest point) Collision center / vehicle storage structure will feature the following colors / materials:
• Main Body - EIFS Benjamin Moore - RAL 9010 Pure White
• Storefront / Window - Kawneer Kynar Sterling Gray with Clear Glazing System
• Aluminum Slat Screen Wall - Benjamin Moore - RAL 9010 Pure White

The vehicle inventory garage will include multiple EV charging units on floors 2-5 which are for dealer use only and not provided to the general public consumption on a commercial basis.
