Gallery Automotive Group LLC has begun construction on BMW and Mini dealerships in Rockland.

The facilities at 1040 Hingham St. will occupy real estate abutting Route 3, bisecting the Hingham-Rockland town line. The dealerships will replace BMW Gallery of Norwell at 98 Accord Park Drive, with 58,000-square feet of BMW and Mini showrooms and service facilities. The current sales and service operations will be expanded.

The showrooms, lot and service departments will include enough space for more than 200 vehicles, a service area with more than 30 bays and amenities such as high-speed electric charging stations for the emerging electric vehicle market. Doors are expected to open in the fall of this year. The dealerships are the product of several partnerships, from permitting to design and construction.

"We’re very excited about the inclusion of a second-floor ‘jewelry box,’ a glass enclosure that will display eight different models from the BMW and Mini lines, visible from Route 3 South," Jay Dacey, president of construction manager Integrated Builders Inc., said in a statement.  "This will truly be a one-of-a kind dealership."

The land owner and developer is A.W. Perry Inc. Construction management is by Integrated Builders Inc., utilizing a design-build contract with the Curtis Architectural Group and Judith Nitsch Engineering Inc.

Development services for Gallery and Perry are being handled by Stratton Development Management and Waypoint KLA, respectively, and construction and permanent financing for the project is provided by Cambridge Savings Bank. Brokerage services were delivered by The Conrad Group’s Peter Cooney and James McEvoy, who represented Gallery, and Richard Beal of the Perry Brokerage Assoc.who represented Perry.

Gallery Automotive Group includes BMW Gallery of Norwood, BMW Gallery of Norwell, Volkswagen Gallery of Norwood, Mazda Gallery of Norwood and Honda Gallery of Reading.
