Autos of Dallas Becomes One of Largest US Dealers

Autos of Dallas will move from its current location in Addison.

PLANO, TX—In a move that will make Autos of Dallas the largest independent auto dealer in Dallas and one of the largest independent auto dealers in the country, Autos of Dallas has purchased a 55,000-square-foot former Ewing Buick GMC dealership in Plano, TX. This purchase will allow the auto dealer to nearly double its inventory to 1,000 vehicles. Autos of Dallas will move from its current location in Addison, TX, previously known as the Addison Square Garden Ice Rink (15100 Midway Rd.), to its new headquarters at 4472 Plano Pkwy. The new location is situated on approximately 8 acres of land in a highly visible area on Plano Parkway just east of Ohio. NAI Robert Lynn industrial division’s principal Chad Albert represented Autos of Dallas. “Many of our customers are in the North Dallas area, so this move helped us get closer to our customer base, create the space needed for an on-site service shop and carry more inventory to further our sales. We’re thankful for Chad and NAI Robert Lynn’s partnership from the very beginning and helping us find the right spaces along the way as we’ve grown,” said Sami Aqqad , owner of Autos of Dallas. Prior to its Addison location, Albert represented Autos of Dallas in its three previous transactions, one of which being the original location in Farmers Branch, TX. At the time of its inception, Autos of Dallas had a 30-car inventory. Eight years later, the company will have 1,000 cars on its lot, in large part due to the steady growth model of Aqqad. “I’ve been very fortunate to represent Sami and Autos of Dallas on their real estate as they’ve grown from a small start-up auto dealer in 2008 to now, arguably the largest dealer in the city. Sami has always exemplified a ‘customer-first’ mentality as well as an uncanny ability to take well-calculated risks throughout his organic growth, which have paid great dividends, and have been the main contributors to Autos of Dallas’ success over the years,” said Albert. NAI Robert Lynn has represented Autos of Dallas since 2008, assisting the company in locating properties for its growing needs while overcoming the lack of supply of dealership availability. At the time of purchase, the dealership was not available on the market. Within weeks, a location and agreement were secured. Albert tells GlobeSt.com: “The biggest challenge in the search for a new facility was the lack of dealerships available for sale. Fortunately, we were able to locate a very unique ‘off-market’ opportunity for our client which perfectly fit their size, geographic and timing requirement.”
