Two New Car Dealerships Locating in Wentzville

By KERRY SMITH, EDITOR, ST. LOUIS CONSTRUCTION NEWS AND REVIEW MAGAZINE

Construction on the first of two full-service new car dealerships has begun in Wentzville.

Clement Auto Group broke ground this month on its 30,000-square-foot Hyundai dealership with plans to open in Spring 2023. Once completed, the company will also build a 70,000-square-foot Ford dealership with an anticipated opening in Fall 2023.

The dealerships will comprise a state-of-the-art auto mall near the intersection of Interstates 64 and 70 in Wentzville.

Musick Construction is building both projects.

Clement Auto Group President and Owner Penuel “Raj” Clement is the only first-generation new car dealer in the St. Louis market today.

“In an extremely savvy business environment, I am honored to bear this distinction,” said Penuel. “Every single new car dealership in our region is either second generation, third generation or part of a large, out-of-town group. I am humbled to have earned partnerships with both Hyundai Motor America and Ford Motors.”

The projected economic impact of the combined dealerships exceeds $40 million.

“In addition to the hundreds of jobs being created, we’re making a long-term commitment to serve and support this fast-growing region on many levels,” Penuel said.

Facility Serves GM Wentzville Assembly Plant

A massive 1.1 million-square-foot logistics center in Wentzville, Mo. is now serving the nearby General Motors Corp. assembly plant. Built by Edwardsville-based Contegra Construction Co., the multi-million dollar facility was built for developer NorthPoint Development.

Located on a 132-acre tract at 201 Wentzville Industrial Drive, the facility serves as a logistics optimization center for the GM plant.  It is designed and constructed to optimize delivery, storage and processing of parts and products for timely transport to the assembly plant.  TVS Supply Chain Solutions operates the facility.

The seven-month project was constructed with a conventional steel frame, metal frame roof, and site-cast tilt-up concrete panel walls.  It features a 32-foot clear height ceiling, 168 dock doors and six drive-in doors.

“Contegra did a great job managing the schedule overcoming a record rainfall that deluged the region as construction was getting underway,” said Larry Lapinksi, vice president, NorthPoint Development.

The project is among 14 logistic facilities in the Metro St. Louis that Contregra is currently building or completed in 2017.  Since 2014, Contegra has performed work on 20 logistics projects in the region, including two fulfillment centers for Amazon and a number of distribution and warehouse facilities.

Based in Edwardsville, Ill., Contegra is one of the St. Louis area’s largest general contractors and serves a national customer base that includes industrial, institutional, municipal, multi-family, office and retail projects.  Its capabilities include building developer- and owner-driven projects and site development.  Learn more at www.contegracc.com.
