"Fletcher Jones Imports, a Las Vegas-based auto dealer, owns the property through an affiliate. The affiliate bought the site for $14 million in June 2024, Contra Costa County real estate records show. Auto dealerships have eyed the site for years. In 2023, an entity affiliated with Price Family Dealerships and Tom Price Automotive paid $12.5 million for the property, whose addresses include 2717 and 2721 North Main St. and 1510 and 1530 Second Ave."
"This building is sort of a prototype, Scanlon told a special meeting of a Walnut Creek design review board in October. We have integrated everything into this one building. This approach will avoid a sprawling footprint dominated by vehicles parked on acres of surface lots, according to Scanlon. We have shrunk the footprint and will provide a vertical inventory, Scanlon said."
Fletcher Jones Imports owns the site at North Main Street and Second Avenue via an affiliate that paid $14 million in June 2024. A three-story Porsche dealership totaling 132,000 square feet is proposed, combining sales and service in a single building. The developer says the design is a prototype that integrates functions to avoid a sprawling surface parking footprint by using vertical inventory. Vehicles will be directed to the rooftop, a basement garage, or the on-site auto repair shop. The proposal follows previous dealership interest and a 2023 $12.5 million sale involving Price Family Dealerships.
