The Dilawri Group of Companies and OpenRoad Auto Group are getting behind the wheel to to build and operate a flagship Porsche Centre in the Richmond Auto Mall.

Construction of the new state-of-the-art dealership is set to start in 2018, with plans for completion in 2019. While this joint venture is new, it will be the second Porsche dealership for each company. OpenRoad opened Porsche Centre Langley in the Langley Auto Collection in 2015, while Dilawri acquired Porsche Centre Vancouver in 2010 and opened its present day location in 2013.

The multi-million dollar project will be one of Canada’s largest Porsche dealerships and will feature Porsche’s infamous curved building design, in addition to the latest in customer amenities and the most advanced sales and service technology.

The building design will also accommodate a full range of new electric vehicles that Porsche plans to roll out over the next several years. The new dealership will staff approximately 40 employees in the areas of sales, service, management and administration.
