BMW Pines Collision Center
This six-story structure, whose design echoes BMW’s high-performance image, also complements Holman Automotive’s adjacent BMW of Pembroke Pines dealership. The building features a state-of-the-art collision center on the ground floor, with parking on floors two through six for the dealership’s inventory.
The project included dewatering portions of the site and installing foundations four to six feet into the water table. Keeping the dealership fully operational throughout, crews staged and lifted about 1,200 precast components on the tight site, including precast concrete panels, concrete double tees, beams and columns.
The new center features aluminum louvered panels on its north wall and architectural grids to create living green walls on its other exterior facades. Creating the collision and service center, Miller’s crews coordinated installation of 37 in-ground car lifts, plus alignment racks, car frame aligning machines, paint booths, a free standing car wash, tire carousels and other shop equipment items. The ground floor also includes parts storage areas with metal mezzanines and racking, locker rooms, advisor areas and offices. Interior customer service and waiting areas feature upscale finishes built to BMW’s national showroom standards. The upper levels of the garage have high-intensity LED lighting and 64 car chargers.
