The Carter Subaru Expansion and Addition project will greatly increase service capacity and operating efficiency while adhering to the manufacturer’s design specifications. For improved accessibility, we are increasing the number of servicing bays from 29 to 55 and switching from individual garage doors to a shared drive aisle. Two levels of rooftop parking will more than double the available parking capacity.
We put environmental sustainability first by using cutting-edge stormwater management solutions, which include bioretention areas and R-tanks with sand filters. Modern wood framing techniques, such as glue-laminated beams and CLT and GLT plank systems, will be used in the construction of the new building structure. Low water volume fixtures and an on-site car wash system are examples of water conservation methods.
Our landscaping will feature drought-tolerant and native plants. During construction, we will implement a low waste and recycling management system. The facility will include 25,000 square feet of solar panels and multiple EV charging stations, aiming for Zero Energy Certification under the International Living Future Institute’s Living Building Challenge. This will be achieved through sustainable building systems, an all-electric design, and energy-efficient practices.
The frontage design enhances the street front with free-standing display windows for vehicle displays, meeting city zoning regulations. The site also allows for on-site vehicle delivery using large transport trucks, improving logistics. We will benefit from the City of Shoreline’s Deep Green Incentive Program, which offers reduced permit fees, lowered transportation impact fees, and expedited permit review for our commitment to sustainability.
