“We (Volvo) applaud our retailers that invest in our beautiful brand and join us on our transformational journey,” Gustafsson said. “Congratulations to the entire team at Capital Volvo Cars of Albany on their investment in our collective future in one of our most important markets.”
The new 19,261-SF dealership is located on approximately 4.3 acres at 350 New Karner Road, across the street from the 2.5-acre site it previously shared with Capital Luxury Cars’ Jaguar and Land Rover franchises. The state-of-the-art facility includes a five-vehicle showroom and fifteen bay shop. Reflecting Volvo’s leadership in electrification and sustainability, it also includes eight electric charging stations with the infrastructure to add more.
“Similar to when Volvo took a leadership role in safety years ago, Volvo is taking a leadership position in electrification and sustainability through Volvo Recharge, a full line of hybrid or electric offerings,” Kahn said. “Now consumers can experience luxury recharge technology and get the excellent ownership experience offered by the Volvo dealership network.”
LeChase was the construction manager on the project, which was designed by Cotler Architecture. Hershberg and Hershberg provided site engineering services.
