Project overview

This two-story dealership blends high-performance automotive design with a rugged, high-altitude environment. The building features a steel structural system with concrete-filled metal deck at the second floor and standard metal deck at the roof. The framing supports wide-open showrooms and service areas, while maintaining flexibility for future interior modifications. Lateral forces are resisted through a hybrid system of CMU shear walls and steel moment frames, strategically integrated to meet both seismic and wind demands.

Conclusion

Set against the backdrop of Flagstaff’s dramatic landscape, the structure was engineered for durability and resilience in a challenging climate. With its exposed steel detailing and carefully coordinated lateral system, the project reflects a balance of strength, precision, and the elevated brand experience expected from Mercedes-Benz.
