Repurposing Vacant Auto Dealerships Into High-Value Properties

At Pointe Automotive, we specialize in a unique and growing niche—transforming vacant auto dealerships into thriving, income-generating properties. With their strategic locations, expansive layouts, and built-in infrastructure, former dealerships offer unmatched potential for adaptive reuse across multiple industries.

Whether you're a franchise operator, real estate investor, or end user, our team helps unlock the full value of these underutilized assets through smart repositioning and creative redevelopment strategies.

Why Vacant Dealerships Are a Hidden Opportunity

Auto dealerships are typically built on prime real estate—high-traffic corridors, signalized corners, and large parcels with infrastructure already in place. From showrooms and service bays to expansive parking lots and signage visibility, these properties are ready-made for a variety of commercial uses:

  • Electric vehicle showrooms and charging hubs

  • Automotive aftermarket and service franchises

  • Big-box or multi-tenant retail conversions

  • Urgent care or medical office redevelopments

  • Fitness centers, entertainment venues, or recreation spaces

  • Last-mile logistics and secure vehicle/equipment storage

Who We Serve

We work with developers, operators, and investors who see the value in adaptive reuse and need a trusted advisor to identify, acquire, or reposition vacant dealership sites. Our clients include:

  • EV manufacturers and auto tech startups

  • National and regional auto service brands

  • Medical and wellness operators

  • Retail franchise groups

  • Gym and recreation brands

  • Industrial and logistics users

Your Strategic Partner in Adaptive Reuse

With deep experience in automotive real estate, we understand how to navigate zoning, entitlement, and redevelopment challenges unique to these sites. Our team offers site selection, market analysis, disposition support, and investor outreach to ensure every property reaches its highest and best use.

We don’t just list these properties—we transform them into new opportunities.
