The greatly anticipated SanTan
Motorplex is also becoming
known as the “millennium”
auto mall. The unique approach is geared
to make car buying more like a trip
to an amusement park, rather than a
dreadful chore. By surrounding buyers
with aesthetic pathways and luxury boutiques,
the new car buying experience becomes
an anticipated event.
The 130-acre SanTan Motorplex is planned
to open in 2006. At full build-out,
the auto mall will be home to 15 automakers
employing 1,300-1,500 employees.
