Mercedes Benz Scottsdale

Scottsdale, Arizona

– Type: Auto Showroom
– Square Footage: 174,000 SF
– Services Provided: Architecture, Interior Architecture

The Mercedes Benz of Scottsdale dealership is located directly across from the iconic Scottsdale Fashion Square. This state-of-the-art showroom involved 100 percent reuse of an existing office building. The project was completed in two phases because of existing tenant timelines, including a fully functioning dialysis center that moved out two months before construction finished. Other challenging features include structurally raising an entire floor to accommodate the service department and a car ramp that connects the second and third-floor showrooms. The building also includes sustainable resources such as an onsite storage of reclaimed water used for car washing and landscaping, rooftop HVAC units to reduce 50 tons of energy consumption by 25 percent, natural and motion sensor lighting, and maximum use of recyclable and local materials to minimize fuel consumption and waste. The dealership was designed with a café that has full-time hostesses and complimentary gourmet cappuccino, as well as several quiet luxurious lounge areas. Due to the close proximity of multi-family developments, the dealership and its amenities maintain a sensitivity to the creation of unnecessary noise.
