At Syler Construction, we take pride in bringing precision, innovation and expert craftsmanship to every commercial project we undertake, and one of our latest achievements is the Robert Brogden Olathe Kia dealership. Located at 130 N. First Street in Olathe, Kansas, this project is a showcase of how purposeful design and thoughtful construction can elevate a business’s customer experience and operational efficiency.
A Vision Realized: Partnering with Robert Brogden’s Team
Every great construction project begins with a clear vision, and for the Robert Brogden team, that vision centered on modernizing their Kia dealership with a facility that enhances both customer interaction and behind-the-scenes service capabilities. Our team at Syler Construction was proud to step in as the builder that could take that vision from concept to completion—blending function, form and a forward-thinking strategy.
We approached the project with our signature attention to detail, working closely with the Robert Brogden team to ensure that every element aligned with their goals, timelines and brand standards.
New Build Meets Thoughtful Renovation
The project scope included two critical elements:
- A new 8,583 square foot service reception and service shop: Designed from the ground up, this addition was built to streamline the dealership’s service process while creating a clean, high-functioning environment for technicians and customers alike. This modernized space enhances efficiency and reinforces the dealership’s commitment to quality customer care.
- Remodeling 15,600 square foot existing building: Alongside the new construction project, our team tackled a significant remodel of the existing dealership facility. The updated space now aligns more closely with contemporary design aesthetics and provides a welcoming and efficient environment.
A Design That Works
Dealerships serve a dual purpose: they are high-traffic commercial centers that showcase the company’s brand, and that duality informed every decision we made throughout this build. A few of the key considerations that went into our construction approach were:
- Durability & Longevity: High-use areas like service shops require durable materials and smart layouts, so for this build we prioritized finishes that can handle heavy traffic and wear while maintaining a polished appearance.
- Functional Flow: From the newly constructed service reception to the remodeled showroom floor, every square foot was designed to support a seamless customer journey—from vehicle drop-off to new car delivery.
- Aesthetic Integration: Despite being a mix of new construction and renovation, the completed facilities feel cohesive, and our thoughtful design decisions ensured that the new and existing spaces blend into a single, modern dealership.
