Miami Car Dealership First Green Dealership
A Miami car dealer has broken ground on what is to be the first green dealership in country.
Chrysler dealership Tamiami Automotive Group announced plans to relocate and expand to a building that will achieve the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design gold certification.

Upon completion, the new 400,000-square-foot facility is to be the most environmentally friendly auto dealership in the country, with water conservation and energy management systems, and a design that relies on natural light, rather than artificial, the company said.
The new dealership will be located on 18 acres of a former Superfund site that was once home to a lumberyard.
“We are reusing land that was contaminated and revitalizing it to build an eco-friendly structure that cooperates with the environment,” said Carlos Planas, chairman of Tamiami Automotive Group. “We owe it to our children and grandchildren to do everything possible to conserve our environment. We view this as a must, and encourage others to do the same.”
