Hollister Construction Services Begins Major Renovation Project For Smythe Volvo Dealership
Hollister Construction Services (Hollister), a leading full-service construction manager specializing in corporate, educational, healthcare, industrial, retail, and residential construction, has started the renovation of the former Barnes Chevrolet building on River Road in Summit, creating the new home of Smythe Volvo. The Volvo dealership, currently located at 326 Morris Avenue, will move its operations to the renovated building in April of 2014.
The project entails gutting the Barnes Chevrolet building down to its block wall shell and replacing the existing brick façade with a new two-story glass storefront. The original building was built like an urban car dealership, with roof-top parking that will now receive poly-tuff flooring and a canopy of solar panels to create an open-air third-floor showroom.
Removing a central stair well will provide views from the second floor over a new glass railing to the newly tiled showroom below. A full 17-bay service area will be installed on the first floor, below the River Road street level. At 30,000 square feet, the new facility will be approximately three times the size of the dealership’s current building on Morris Avenue. The architects for the Smythe Volvo project are S&L Architecture Studio, and the engineers are Becht Engineering.
