Green Toyota will hold a groundbreaking Feb. 3 for an $11 million expansion and renovation project.
Green Toyota is planning an $11 million project intended to significantly modernize and expand the Toyota showroom, service area and customer amenities.
The groundbreaking for the major expansion and renovation project at 3901 Wabash Ave. will take place at 10 a.m. on Monday, Feb. 3.
“We are thrilled to break ground on this state‐of‐the‐art renovation and expansion, which will not only enhance our service offerings but also create new job opportunities for the community,” said Mylas Copeland, managing partner of Green Toyota.
CFI Design Management, an Indianapolis-based contractor that exclusively works with automotive dealerships, is serving as the general contractor. However, Copeland said all the subcontractors taking part in the project will be local.
“One of the most exciting aspects of this project is that it is being built by local trades for local people, marking a historic milestone for Green Family Stores,” he said.
Highlights of the planned renovation include a climate‐controlled shop in the automotive services department, new locker rooms modeled after NCAA facilities, and an interactive conference training room. Customers will enjoy upgraded lounges, waiting rooms, offices and workstations.
As a results of the expansion, additional staff will be added across all departments, including sales, service technicians, service advisers, finance, sales managers and office personnel.
Green Toyota will receive nearly 1,000 additional Toyota vehicles over the next three years, offering the largest selection of Toyotas south of I‐80, according to a statement from the company.
While the nearly year-long construction project is underway, Green Toyota’s sales operations will temporarily relocate to the Volkswagen Audi showroom next door, and the service department will remain fully operational with walk‐in parts counter sales available. A grand reopening is planned for December 2025.
