Jenkins Genesis of Leesburg Construction Coming Along
Jenkins Automotive Group who owns Genesis of Leesburg will be moving into a new location. The current location which is located at 9145 US Highway 441 will be moving about a half mile East near the Lake Square Mall. The brand new building is coming along and it certainly has a modern feel to it.
(The new Jenkins Genesis of Leesburg grand front enterence will be glass. The new showroom will take advantage of natural lighting and allow for a much more guest friendly experience.)
The front of the building has much of the glass installed but still has a ways to go. The new grand entrance to Jenkins Genesis of Leesburg will let natural light shine into the building and the showroom will look better than ever. Natural light beaming off show cars in a showroom can be a good selling point. The glass is also a very modern feature that older buildings in the area don’t take advantage of.
(A lot of work still has to be done. Electrical and plumbing still need to be installed. The exterior skin of the building is slowly being put up.)
The current building has windows but not nearly the modern design of the new one. The building is currently very square and is a product of the early to mid 2000s styled design. This new location will be much more luxurious and offer customers a better overall experience.
(A better look at the glass panes that will make up the majority of the showroom. Note the dirt still surrounding the building. Much work remains to be done in the coming months.)
While glass work continues installation, there is still much to do around the building. This includes getting electrical and plumbing installed. There are still sections with dirt and other areas that will continue to be worked on in the coming months.
(Hundreds of Panes will surround the building keeping the elements out of the showroom but creating a bright and modern feel when purchasing a car. This modern building design is utilized in many city locations)
Once this building is opened it will be stunning. We absolutely love the glass front door look of the facility. Eventually the HVAC will be installed as well. There is still much to do and the building is still months away from completion. But good to see progress being made on the building.
