Expert Leadership Drives the KIA Dealership Transformation
Once a familiar landmark for Holden enthusiasts on Wairau Road, the dealership is now undergoing a dramatic transformation into a cutting-edge KIA destination. This project isn’t just a facelift- it’s a bold leap into the future. Expansive new extensions breathing life into the building, sleek offices and showrooms brimming with style, and workshops supercharged to meet the highest industry standards. Outside, the vehicle yard stretches wider than ever, ready to showcase a dazzling array of cars. Walk inside, and you’ll discover a dealership packed with advanced technology and modern comforts all designed to deliver a seamless, premium experience for every customer who walks through the door.
Guiding this ambitious reinvention is CS&R and Product X as the architect. From day one, CS&R became the heartbeat of the project, implementing the client’s vision and expertly navigating the tricky terrain of council discussions, tough consent negotiations, and a maze of compliance hurdles made more complicated by the existing building. Their seasoned leadership made sure every milestone was not just met but celebrated - with every council requirement handled before it could become a roadblock.
But the real magic happened behind the scenes. CS&R didn’t just push papers; they orchestrated the entire redevelopment like a well-tuned engine. From issuing critical directions to preparing must-have reports, their hands-on management kept the project humming along. Armed with a relentless commitment to deadlines and budgets, CS&R ensured the transformation didn't miss a beat.
CS&R’s hands-on leadership has elevated the new KIA dealership far beyond the ordinary. Today, it stands as a vibrant destination where car buyers can expect not only the latest amenities, but an experience that feels both welcoming and innovative. This isn’t just a renovation—it’s a revolution in automotive retail, with CS&R raising the bar for dealership redevelopment across New Zealand.
The new Wairau Valley KIA dealership now stands as a beacon of what’s possible when inspired project management meets bold vision. With CS&R leading the charge, this landmark is rewriting the rules of excellence and innovation in the automotive industry.
