OAKLAND-The 85-year-old Triangle Building here in the heart of the car dealership district is being gutted and restuffed by local developer Steve Simi. Simi, who recently restored his Connell Jeep dealership at 3093 Broadway, says he wants to make the area more attractive to residents and businesses.

Simi has a permit to strip the inside of the 10,000 sf Triangle Building and is in the process of forming a renovation plan he expects will cost about $1.5 million. He spent about $2.5 million the 76-year-old Connell Jeep building. Simi says he is thinking of trying to tie the Triangle Building renovation into the other dealerships he owns nearby.
