Earnhardt Arizona Properties has submitted a site plan review to the City of Mesa to build a Kia dealership in the Superstition Springs Auto Park.
The new Earnhardt Kia will be built on 4.6 acres in the auto park and will include two buildings – the sales and service facilities – totaling 76KSF, and a 2-level, 41KSF parking garage. The developer proposes to build a retention basin on the southwest portion of the site. The owner also plans to create three new driveways onto the property from Auto Park Drive. The project is valued at $6M.
The dealership’s main building is planned to be approximately 30 feet tall and will feature details characteristic of Kia’s signature façade, including glass, white ACM metal panels and charcoal integral-colored masonry units. The parking structure, which will be used for both employee and inventory parking, will be approximately 16 feet with one covered level and one rooftop level.
