At a ground-breaking ceremony in Niagara on Tuesday, Policaro Group’s CEO, Francesco Policaro, announced the construction of the company’s third Porsche Centre in Niagara. This news further cements the group’s relationship with Porsche Canada, and will join two other Porsche Centres in Oakville and Kitchener-Waterloo.
“We are very excited to expand Porsche’s presence across southern Ontario with the groundbreaking of yet another Porsche location,” said Francesco Policaro. “This new location will expand the region’s luxury automotive market and bring the love of the drive closer to home. We’re thrilled to share our passion for Porsche with the Niagara Region.”
The new facility will open in 2024, and be located at 11 Export Avenue, St. Catharines. The new complex will be built over three acres with almost 70,000 square feet of buildings. Porsche Centre Niagara will include a two-storey building with underground parking and storage, Porscheplatz Café, kids entertainment area and e-performance charger infrastructure, including rapid chargers capable of charging a Porsche EV from 5 to 80 per cent in 22.5 minutes. It will embody the true spirit of the Porsche brand as a full sales and service Porsche location, designed and constructed following Porsche’s Global Image Program, Destination Porsche.
“I am excited that our world-class destination of Niagara is the next stop for Destination Porsche and the Policaro Group. The Porsche Centre Niagara location will be a great addition to St. Catharines, not only from an economic perspective, but also Policaro Group’s emphasis on giving back to the community. Porsche’s corporate values and focus on delivering innovative technology while balancing sustainability, blends perfectly with our vision for St. Catharines to be the most dynamic, innovative, sustainable and livable city in North America,” said St. Catharines Mayor Walter Sendzik
