The Capital Auto Group’s Hyundai dealership was designed as Hyundai’s flagship store, being the largest Hyundai dealership within the country. The 50,000 sq ft dealership boasts a 12 car, 24 foot high, clear storey showroom with floor to ceiling curtain wall and a 4 car new vehicle delivery bay. For the service areas, the dealership has a 12 car service drive-thru, a touchless car wash, dedicated oil change pit, 7 exterior-entry detailing bays, and a 24 bay service garage. In addition to this is a full sales department with back of house office support, a two-storey parts department, tire storage, and a second storey office with meeting and conference rooms.

FMAI worked as the lead architect for the project, directing a sub consultant team and working closely with Hyundai’s selected interior design consultant, A2, to produce a building which reflected Hyundai’s newly updated brand identity. Through this relationship A2 produced the interior design concepts, while FMAI completed all construction drawings and detailing. The result was a project which not only demonstrates FMAI’s architectural prowess, but highlight’s Newfoundland’s automotive industry on a national scale.
