The Missner Group has launched an interior renovation program for Autohaus Automotive, Inc., a Mercedes-Benz dealership in Northbrook, Illinois. The work focuses on updating the customer-facing and employee areas of the existing facility, with construction now underway.
The project covers 19,550 square feet within the building and is designed to modernize the dealership’s first-floor environment. Planned improvements span the showroom, customer lounge, vehicle delivery area, sales offices, service offices, and internal circulation corridors, reflecting a comprehensive refresh of the primary customer and operational zones.
In addition to upgrading finishes and layouts, the scope includes significant building systems work. The renovation program calls for enhancements to mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems, aimed at bringing the property in line with current performance and service expectations. The project also incorporates new customer electric-vehicle charging capabilities, adding EV-focused infrastructure to the site as part of the broader modernization effort.
The Missner Group is serving as the general contractor for the renovation. Fitzgerald Architecture Planning Design is providing architectural services, guiding the redesign of the interior spaces and integration of building systems and EV charging features into the existing footprint.
The Mercedes-Benz dealership, located at 1600 Frontage Road in Northbrook, has long operated as a resource for new and certified pre-owned vehicles and related service for the North Shore community. The current renovation is intended to update the facility while maintaining its established role in the local automotive sales and service landscape.
According to Neely Sadowski, President of Construction at The Missner Group, the firm previously built the original dealership facility and is returning to lead the renovation work as market conditions and customer expectations continue to evolve. Construction is expected to conclude in May 2027, at which time the updated customer areas, service spaces, systems upgrades, and EV charging infrastructure are anticipated to be fully in place.
