BOULDER – McCaddon Cadillac Buick GMC Inc. in Boulder is getting a face-lift as part of a nationwide effort by General Motors to spruce up and modernize its dealerships.

The renovations at McCaddon, at 2460 48th Court, Boulder, will include a new entrance and a redesigned first floor, which will improve the showroom, sales office, service adviser area, customer waiting room and restrooms.

The cost of the renovation was not disclosed.

The renovations will start next week and affect about 7,000 square feet of the 27,000-square-foot dealership, according to a press release from RJM Construction LLC, the firm responsible for the renovation. The company is headquartered in St. Louis Park, Minnesota, and has a regional office in Denver.

The renovations are part of the new GM Facility Image Program, a nationwide effort to update GM dealership facilities, the release said. The dealership was built in 1987 and employs nearly 60 people.

“The renovations will bring our facility in line with more modern conveniences, a more comfortable environment for our clientele, and a more dynamic and efficient workplace for our staff,” dealership owner Mark McCaddon said in the release. “We appreciate how RJM worked with us to zero in on the specific needs of our organization as well as enhance the overall image that our manufacturer is requesting.”

Denver-based architectural firm The Mulhern Group Ltd. and design firm M. Arthur Gensler Jr. and Associates Inc., dba Gensler, were part of the project’s design team. Gensler has an office in Denver.
