A new luxury car dealership on Scottsdale Road, south of Loop 101, is a sign of growing economic activity in Scottsdale according to city officials. The new dealership sits on a 30-acre parcel which was auctioned by the Arizona State Land Department in May 2012.
Bell Lexus North Scottsdale, a new 103,000-square-foot facility at the southeast corner of Scottsdale Road and Mayo Boulevard, is expected to employ 95 people. The dealer is projecting $90 million in sales its first year.
The new Bell Lexus North Scottsdale anchors an area of vacant land next to the freeway, and it is hoped that there will be residential, commercial and retail development activity near the new auto dealership in the year ahead.
Bell Lexus made the move from north central Phoenix to the new Scottsdale location to build a state-of-the art facility closer to many of their customers.
“The city of Scottsdale has truly been a partner in moving this project from paper to reality. They assembled a dedicated team, comprised of economic development and other planning staff, to escort us through every step of the application, site design, planning and the public hearing processes, facilitating the entire process seamlessly. The entire Berge family and development team felt welcomed to the city of Scottsdale from day one,” said General Manager Bryant Berge.
