Polar Design Build tops-off 40,000 s/f Sullivan Toyota

Kingston, MA Polar Design Build has finished the structural steel frame of the 40,000 s/f automobile dealership under construction for Sullivan Toyota. The project team includes owner’s representative Richard Vazza, architects The Curtis Architectural Group, civil engineers McKenzie Engineering Group, structural engineers Flood Consulting, and MEP engineers CBC Engineering. 

Polar commenced site work in June and construction has occurred in phases. In Phase I, there were two existing buildings demolished on site. The construction team carried out geotech ground improvement and the installation of geopiers before the foundation was poured. The dealership was constructed with structural steel and metal insulated panels on the exterior. The first floor is 34,000 s/f and will be made into a showroom. The second floor is 6,000 s/f and will be made into an office and storage area. In addition, there will be an elevator installed with access to each floor.

In Phase II, Polar will replace the original lot and create 310 spaces for new and used vehicles as well as customer and personnel parking. The Sullivan Toyota dealership will then shift its operations from the old building to the new building. There will be associated site work, and a final cleaning will occur. The new dealership is due to be completed in March 2018. 

Sullivan Toyota is one of the highest volume auto dealerships in New England. It is located off Rte. 3 in Kingston. The Sullivan Brothers have been selling and servicing vehicles to customers in the South Shore and Cape Cod regions for three decades.
