Kia of Covington is a new ground-up automotive dealership located on a prominent five-acre site at the intersection of Interstate 12 and Highway 190 in Covington. Greenleaf worked with the project team to develop a purpose-built facility that brings vehicle sales, customer service, parts, and service operations together within one coordinated dealership campus.
The design was developed around Kia's national brand standards while responding to the specific operational needs of the local dealership. Customer-facing spaces, showroom functions, administrative areas, service operations, and back-of-house support were coordinated to create clear circulation for customers, staff, vehicles, and service traffic across the site.
Brand coordination played an important role throughout the project. Greenleaf worked through Kia's architectural requirements, material standards, signage, glazing, and dealership identity while adapting those elements to the site and the needs of the owner. Three-dimensional visualization was used throughout design to evaluate the building's exterior, customer experience, and key architectural decisions before construction.
The completed dealership provides Kia of Covington with a permanent Northshore facility designed specifically around its sales and service operations. Opened in 2025, the project was completed as part of a coordinated team effort that brought the new dealership in under forecasted costs.
