Joseph Nicholas Construction (JNC), in partnership with Murgado Automotive Group, breaks ground on a new Porsche dealership showroom and service center at 24 E. Dundee Road in Barrington, Illinois., 40 miles northwest of downtown Chicago.
Located on the northwest corner of Grove Avenue and Dundee Road, the new two-story, 133,960-square-foot facility will be the largest Porsche dealership in Illinois and one of the largest in the country. The new facility will employ 80 to 100 people when it opens in late spring of 2027.
Upon completion, Barrington Porsche will be the new location for Murgado Automotive Group’s existing Porsche dealership, which is currently operating within the existing Motor Werks of Barrington auto mall, a 45-acre automotive sales campus that also houses BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Cadillac, Honda and INFINITI dealerships. The move to a new stand-alone facility with a dedicated service department will expand the dealership’s capacity by accommodating a larger on-site inventory, in addition to providing an enhanced showroom experience, improved service capacity and additional Porsche amenities.
Featuring a sleek, modern glass-and-aluminum façade, the new dealership will have ample showroom space across its first and second floors to display the full line of Porche models, from the Taycan to the 911. The facility also includes a basement level that can store up to 90 inventory cars. An advanced service department will be equipped with cutting-edge technology to support standard maintenance and repairs in addition to specialty services offered by Barrington Porsche as one of only 16 Manthey Certified dealers in the country, which means it can install specialized, factory-backed Manthey upgrade kits that further enhance a vehicle’s track or street performance.
