Miller Construction complete structure for BMW in Pembroke Pines

Fort Lauderdale-based Miller Construction‘s latest project will stand out to South Florida drivers—and automotive customers.

Miller recently announced its completion of a 427,856-square-foot Collision Center and Inventory Garage for BMW of Pembroke Pines. Visible from I-75, the six-story building’s design is inspired by BMW’s high-performance image, Miller says. The ground floor houses a collision center while the remaining floors are designated parking for the dealership’s inventory. The design by FSMY Architects and Planners of Fort Lauderdale features aluminum louvered panels on its north wall and architectural grids to create living “green walls” on its other exterior facades. Other project team members included engineering firms Winningham & Fradley of Oakland Park (civil), Bryntesen Structural Engineers of Fort Lauderdale (structural) and FAE Consulting of Deerfield Beach (MEP).

To construct the precast double-tee concrete building, Miller had to dewater portions of the site and installing foundations four to six feet into the water table. For the collision center, Miller’s crews coordinated the installation of 37 in-ground car lifts, plus alignment racks, car frame aligning machines, paint booths, a free-standing car wash, tire carousels and other shop equipment items.

“Keeping the dealership fully operational throughout, our crews staged and lifted about 1,200 precast components on the tight site,” said Miller president Brian Sudduth, “including precast concrete panels, concrete double tees, beams and columns. We appreciated the city’s responsive communication, as we were able to stay on track with inspections and keep everyone safe.”

Miller is no stranger to automotive projects. This project is its seventh for Holman Automotive. Miller Construction’s previous projects for Holman Automotive include the award-wining Lauderdale BMW showroom and the 209,023-square-foot BMW/MINI Service Center, both in Fort Lauderdale, as is Holman’s Lauderdale Imports luxury brands dealership that showcases Aston Martin, Bentley and Rolls Royce. Holman Automotive’s Audi Pembroke Pines dealership, previously built by Miller, is immediately west of the BMW dealership.

 “Miller’s ability to anticipate and solve complex issues, giving us extremely accurate estimates during preconstruction, is a major business advantage for our team,” said Holman Automotive Executive Vice President Glenn Gardner. “Through their efforts, we’ve achieved the upscale design and highly efficient workflow we envisioned for this new center.”

BIOGRAPHY

Drew Limsky joined Lifestyle Media Group in August 2020 as Editor-in-Chief of South Florida Business & Wealth. His first issue of SFBW, October 2020, heralded a reimagined structure, with new content categories and a slew of fresh visual themes. “As sort of a cross between Forbes and Robb Report, with a dash of GQ and Vogue,” Limsky says, “SFBW reflects South Florida’s increasingly sophisticated and dynamic business and cultural landscape.”

Limsky, an avid traveler, swimmer and film buff who holds a law degree and Ph.D. from New York University, likes to say, “I’m a doctor, but I can’t operate—except on your brand.” He wrote his dissertation on the nonfiction work of Joan Didion. Prior to that, Limsky received his B.A. in English, summa cum laude, from Emory University and earned his M.A. in literature at American University in connection with a Masters Scholar Award fellowship.

Limsky came to SFBW at the apex of a storied career in journalism and publishing that includes six previous lead editorial roles, including for some of the world’s best-known brands. He served as global editor-in-chief of Lexus magazine, founding editor-in-chief of custom lifestyle magazines for Cadillac and Holland America Line, and was the founding editor-in-chief of Modern Luxury Interiors South Florida. He also was the executive editor for B2B magazines for Acura and Honda Financial Services, and he served as travel editor for Conde Nast. Magazines under Limsky’s editorship have garnered more than 75 industry awards.

He has also written for many of the country’s top newspapers and magazines, including The New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Miami Herald, Boston Globe, USA Today, Worth, Robb Report, Afar, Time Out New York, National Geographic Traveler, Men’s Journal, Ritz-Carlton, Elite Traveler, Florida Design, Metropolis and Architectural Digest Mexico. His other clients have included Four Seasons, Acqualina Resort & Residences, Yahoo!, American Airlines, Wynn, Douglas Elliman and Corcoran. As an adjunct assistant professor, Limsky has taught journalism, film and creative writing at the City University of New York, Pace University, American University and other colleges.
