Luxury Car Dealership Hopes To Open On Boughton Road In Woodridge

WOODRIDGE, IL — The Woodridge plan commission will consider a special use permit request for Chicago Motor Cars to open a 68,400 square foot luxury car dealership and repair center that hopes to open at 900 Boughton Rd.

In the past, the site, zoned for B-2 community commercial use, has been home to three different furniture stores. According to village documents, two of those furniture businesses went bankrupt, so, "It appears a furniture store is no longer a viable business at this location."

The petitioners plan to renovate and build out the current structure to convert it into a dealership.

Chicago Motor Cars conducts most of its business online, so would not require a large car inventory. The dealership sells "exotic" and "luxury" cars with an average price of over $100K, village documents show. The amendment would allow Chicago Motor Cars to house 25 vehicles and have a center for car repairs. The majority of their cars would be displayed outside and housed indoors at night.

Chicago Motor Cars also has locations in Naperville and West Chicago

The plan commission meeting is scheduled for March 2 at 7 p.m.
