Claris Design•Build is thrilled to share the latest updates to the new Mercedes-Benz dealership in Danbury, CT, owned by Curry Automotive. With the project progressing swiftly, we are excited to highlight the key advancements and next steps for this state-of-the-art facility.

Project Milestones Achieved

In the past two months, the construction of the dealership has seen remarkable progress. The roof is now approximately 90% complete, a testament to the effective collaboration between Claris’ architects and project managers. The framing on the roof has also started, moving the project into its next critical phase.

Additionally, the installation of filigree panels has been set. This careful craftsmanship reflects the unified vision of Claris Design•Build and Curry Automotive to build a dealership that is both highly functional and visually striking.

 

Project Milestones Achieved

Moreover, a major milestone was recently achieved with the completion of the slab on deck, adding structural strength to the facility. This step was essential for ensuring the building’s stability and set a solid foundation for the next phase of construction.

The second floor of the dealership is becoming a significant feature of the building as well. Approximately 75% of this floor is allocated for parking the client’s vehicles, which ensures operational efficiency. The front mezzanine will include multiple offices, a conference room, and an employee lounge, fostering a productive and comfortable work environment.

A standout element of this floor will be the 30-foot tall glass façade. This impressive feature not only enhances the building's modern aesthetic, but also provides panoramic views, making the interior spaces feel more expansive and connected to the outside environment.

Our focus is now shifting to exterior framing to close up the building and protect it from the elements. This crucial step is setting the stage for interior work. In the coming weeks, we will be pouring the first-floor slab, providing a strong foundation for all interior developments.

In 1987, Claris Design•Build founder, Phil Clark, obtained an Architectural Engineering degree from Penn State. After graduation, he worked for various companies including Whiting-Turner Contracting Company and Shankel Construction. “I always had the desire to own my own construction business, and when the construction company I was working for downsized, it provided me the opportunity and incentive to get started.” Phil founded Claris Design•Build in 1991 with the belief that the traditional design/bid/build process was adversarial and becoming obsolete. He fashioned Claris’ business model around a more transparent and team approach. Bringing architecture, engineering and construction expertise under the same roof allows a holistic, yet streamlined, approach to deliver the ultimate design/build experience.
