PTD Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 I thought the dealership was suppose to be building a new facility on the block that is now paved, fenced and landscaped. Granted the block looks better than before, but a new building would have been better. Anybody know why they are not building? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Chenevert Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 They are indeed building. Not sure which block you are referring too. But they are building directly across the street from their current showroom, towards 45. The 2nd story showroom will be visible as you are driving on the Pierce Elevated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if they are tearing down the used sales building to build the 2 story building. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidtownCoog Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Last I read (HBJ or Chron) it's a new showroom. They were leasing the lot across from the current showroom, but I did see them putting up the fence last week. The used showroom is too small for anything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midtownuser Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 if you are so curious, why not just call that BMW location and talk to someone that knows. This isn't Apple corp. so it's not like a big secret or anything. Plus, I'm sure they will be happy to share this info with you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricco67 Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Being guilty of being a HAIFer, I drove by this site in downtown a few days ago, but haven't been able to find if we talked about it, is something significant going on? It's nothing but dirt at the moment, but I THINK (as I was Speeding like a madman) I saw some piping sticking up from the ground. Anyone? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
