Brookline Porsche Dealer Plans Overhaul Renovation

BROOKLINE, MA – The Porsche of Boston dealership located at 1168 Commonwealth Ave. is planning a complete renovation of its existing facility, according to a proposal for the project.

The site is currently home to two separate dealerships: BMW of Boston and Porsche of
Boston. The project proposal would only affect the Porsche of Boston facility, with no changes
proposed to the BMW dealership.

The changes to the building include building “a curved façade inspired by Porsche’s vehicle design with silver metallic panels and red accent lighting,” redesigning the main customer entrance and adding a new vehicle showroom, and adding a “state‐of‐the‐art service workshop,” according to the proposal.

Other upgrades include:

• A new, covered Vehicle Service Reception entrance facing Commonwealth Ave.
• Four Customer Spaces in front of the dealership (including (2) EV Charging Spaces and one Handicap Accessible Space)
• Three site parking spaces on the west side of the building and accommodations for a new electrical transformer;
• A new vehicle service access drive on the west side of the building;
• Improved driveaway access circulation along the front, side and rear (south side) of the building with 2nd floor vehicular access on the rear of the building

In addition, the proposal hopes to replace all site facilities with new underground utilities.

The Design Advisory Team is set to discuss the proposal at a meeting on June 28 at 7:30 p.m.
