Construction has commenced on a new car lot being built on the northeast corner of SE 32nd St and S Shields Blvd, near Capitol Hill - activating a long dormant triangle of land directly across the street from the Capitol Hill Tag Agency and the Reload convenience store.

The lot, located at 3208 S Shields Blvd, will feature 27 parking spaces and a 1200 Sq.Ft. prefabricated steel building for the sales offices and garage.

I'm unable to find really anything on the property's owner, and the building permit simply lists the owner's name and "(Automotive Sales)" for the project name, so I have no idea what the lot will be named or if there will be any specific make of vehicle they plan to sell.

Not hugely exciting, but it's always good to see infill - especially on less desirable sites such as this one.
