St. Petersburg, Florida
Tesla Sales, Service & Delivery Center Redevelopment
Project Summary
TRG delivered Tesla’s largest dealership (Sales, Service & Delivery Center) in the United States, totaling a staggering
118,913 square feet. This gut renovation project required a special exception (public hearing) and extensive site
and building work with a construction budget exceeding $7 million. Our permit was issued in July 2022 and Tesla
opened for business prior to year-end 2022.
This gut renovation project was completed during the COVID-19 pandemic which presented many challenges.
With an all-hands-on deck approach, TRG completed this gut renovation to turnkey project of 118,913 square
feet in approximately five (5) months from permit issuance. Given our deep real estate investing, construction,
and development experience, we acquired the property prior to securing site plan approval to assist in Tesla’s
rapid expansion throughout the United States.
