The Owner acquired a Mercedes-Benz dealership with the goal to construct
a new sales and service facility which would provide their customers with the highest
quality of sales and maintenance service available in the Pittsburgh market.
The building is situated on a major commercial highway and is located between
two other automobile dealerships. There is one primary structure on the site which
houses all of the activities of the business.
A two-story glass showroom is provided at the front of the building. Sales and
finance offices to the rear of the space serve the showroom. A drive-through customer
service area separates the sales area from the parts and service areas on the main floor.
Offices for service representatives are adjacent to the drive-through. A lounge and
Mercedes-Benz boutique are provided here as well. Parts and service departments are
located towards the rear of the building on the main floor. A large lower level provides
additional indoor showroom space as well as a delivery prep area and mechanical
support spaces. A car wash is provided at the rear of the building. The Owner's offices,
parts storage and employee areas are found on the upper floor.
Project Features:
The facility is a three-story, 50,665 square foot automobile
dealership. The structure incorporates masonry bearing walls,
structural steel, precast concrete floors, and steel joist roof
structure.
The exterior materials are integrally colored concrete masonry,
Alucobond panels and column covers, and clear anodized
aluminum curtain wall and storefront systems.
Interior finishes include porcelain ceramic tile, sprayed-on
multicolor finish on concrete masonry and drywall, aluminum
storefront systems, and open-cell and lay-in type ceiling
systems.
A high degree of finish quality and detailing was provided for all
customer sales and service areas.
The 18-bay maintenance department features a porcelain
ceramic floor tile, supported by a concrete double-tee floor
structure.
Parking for 6 new cars is provided in the finished lower level
showroom below.
A display case is incorporated into the main entry, displaying
racing trophies.
An Indy racecar is suspended from the two-story showroom
ceiling.
