The new facility will be situated at 4225 US Highway 9 North in Freehold, New Jersey. MGB is the general contractor for the project.
The multi-million-dollar project encompasses demolition of a pre-existing structure; erection of a new, 28,000 square feet showroom building; expansion and renovation of a mechanic shop; and renovation of a separate, 10,000 square feet body shop, as stated by Mc Gowan Builders’ Project Manager Brian Volosin.
The new showroom building will also include a car exposition area, featuring a 14-foot-high, perforated metal panel ceiling; customer lounge; cafeteria; offices; bathrooms; parts storage; and enclosed service drive. Adjacent to this facility will be a mechanic shop, equipped with in-ground car lifts; high-speed Rytec overhead garage doors; an underground vehicle exhaust removal system; Ryko SoftGloss Maxx car wash with a water reclamation system; BMW’s proprietary clinker tile flooring; and 52-gallon Energy Logic EL-500B waste oil boiler with a 250-gallon storage tank to generate heat and hot water for both the garage and a radiant ice melt system with under-surface, one-inch PEX tubing, which will be installed at the exit of the car wash.
MGB will build a perimeter concrete foundation and a six-inch slab-on-grade concrete floor with W/6×6-W2.9×2.9 wire mesh on a crushed stone sub base. The building will feature a structural steel frame with Kawneer 1600 glazed curtain wall that incorporates PPG Solarban 60, slight tint, low-E tempered glass. The showroom will receive a Carlisle EPDM roof.
