TOYOTA DOWNTOWN LA
A state-of-the-art 290,000 SF Downtown LA dealership.
Demolition of an existing dealership and sales lot to allow for the excavation and ground-up construction of a new urban dealership.

Located at the corner of Figueroa and Washington, the dealership is one of the nation’s busiest, and features vertical integration of dealership elements, with the first below grade service department for Toyota. The expansive 60,000-square-foot mechanical shop will service up to 200 vehicles per day.
The 1.6-acre site is located on the southwest corner of Figueroa and Washington. Construction was executed in 16 months and included 103 concrete pours, 34,000 pounds of steel, 1,050 light fixtures, and 1,100 personnel working 76,000 man hours.
