Luxury car shoppers could soon be steering toward Broadview Heights instead of Carnegie Avenue or North Olmsted, if a major dealership shuffle from Ken Ganley Automotive Group clears its final hurdles.
The Broadview Heights-based company has pitched a new three-building dealership campus at the northwest corner of Interstate 77 and State Route 82. The move would pull its Central Cadillac store off Carnegie Avenue in Cleveland and consolidate several of its North Olmsted luxury and exotic operations on one sprawling site near the I-77 interchange. Broadview Heights’ planning commission signed off on a preliminary plan in March, but the project still needs city council approval and environmental review before any dirt moves. If it goes through, a cluster of underused parcels would be replaced with new showrooms, a highline gallery and a combined collision and service facility.
The proposal lays out three distinct buildings. One would be the new home for Central Cadillac, relocated from Carnegie Avenue. A second would bring three highline brands under one roof, selling Bentley, Rolls-Royce and Aston Martin. A third structure at the rear of the site would house a body shop and vehicle storage behind the Wild Eagle Steak & Saloon. Design materials submitted by Vocon show the highline building on the former Vatterott College footprint, and the overall site size at roughly 31.33 acres. The plans also call for moving a Brook Park exotic-car service garage onto the new campus, according to Cleveland.com…
