Munger renovated and modernized the original building and expanded it with new construction resulting in a seamless and fully integrated 18,100 sq. ft. facility that meets Kia's requirement for a contemporary and bold elegance while enhancing the customer experience from sales through service. Highlights include the largest Kia showroom and the only Kia Parts Boutique in Connecticut, a weather protected drive through service lane, an internet café, and many other customer-centric features.
"We are proud to have been part of this Building Renewal project," said David DeMaio, Munger president. "It was a collaborative effort between Premier Kia, Kia designers, Munger and John A. Matthews Architecture, who took ownership of their design, working through details requiring revisions from plan drawings to actual construction."
Quadrupling Premier Kia's capacity sets the stage for sales and service
revenue growth. Customers enjoy an exceptional buying and service
experience. An outstanding work environment enables Premier Kia to
attract, motivate and retain the highest quality employees. As one of
two New England and 62 national Kia Branded Gallery facilities, Kia
touts the Premier Kia facility as one of its finest.
"This was not the typical experience one would expect from a construction company," said Bob Alvine, Premier Kia President. "I had extreme confidence that I could operate my day to day business while the Munger team handled the complexities of this large project. This building and the entire project exceeded my expectations".
