Rolls Royce set to open in Naples, Florida

A new Rolls-Royce dealership is planned to open in Naples, Florida, replacing an existing retail plaza.

Here are the key details about this development:

Location: The proposed dealership would be located at 710 Ninth St. N., replacing a decades-old retail plaza.
Current status: The project is in the planning stages and will require approval from the city council.

Proposed facility:
A two-story building on a 1.73-acre plot
20,000 square feet of air-conditioned space, including a showroom, offices, and a service center
Approximately 37,000 square feet of unairconditioned space for vehicle inventory storage
Ground-level parking lot with 68 spaces for customers and employees, plus 13 spots to display cars

Approval process:
The city’s Design Review Board is expected to review the plans later this summer
The project will require both preliminary and final review by the Design Review Board
A conditional use approval will be needed for the sale of new automobiles on the site
Current dealership: The new location would replace the existing Rolls-Royce dealership, which is currently located just a block north of the proposed site.

Timeline: While specific dates are not mentioned, one tenant suggested that the development might not happen for “a year or better”.

It’s worth noting that Rolls-Royce already has a presence in Naples, with an existing showroom at 900 Tamiami Trail North. The proposed new dealership aims to enhance and potentially expand Rolls-Royce’s presence in the Naples luxury automobile market.
