The site has been cleared so expecting some action soonish.
The existing Audi garage further west is to stay open so I understand.

Close by is also the site of the new Eagles basketball arena so could have some construction along there worth keeping a fish eye on.
Really?

This new one isn't that far away from the existing building, and appears to be a considerably larger site.

I just assumed they must be expanding on the new site, and moving out of the other building.

A car showroom of industrial/out of town proportions. Thought it would have been better to develop living areas for people so close to the city centre. Takes away I fell from the looks of the church spire which I'm sure could have been incorporated into a living local community if a little thought had been given. I suppose people who need an Audi need to access the showroom via a good public transport system. In fact am I missing something here? Why are we(sorry they) allowing such developments on the edge of the CBA area? Carbon footprint thoughts never mind areas for people to live in spring to mind!

Audi new showrooms etc, Scotswood Rd, Newcastle



It is the 2 storey used car pod - "Audi Approved"

And on comment about design of new building

- they are moving from this building a few hundred metres west along Scotswood Rd - my pictures from 07/06/14, hosted on Photobucket

Motor group Benfield opens new £7m Audi dealership in Newcastle
Jun 09, 2014 01:58 By Coreena Ford


Mark Squires, chief executive of Benfield Motor Group, outside the new £7 million Audi dealership on Scotswood Road, Newcastle

Independent motor group Benfield has continued its capital investment programme with the opening of a new £7m Audi dealership on Scotswood Road in Newcastle.

The new flagship Audi development will officially open its doors today, Monday June 9, after a 12-month construction period, aptly opening on the same day of the world famous Blaydon Races which will head past the new dealership. The new landmark development, which is 35,000 sq ft in size and set on a 4.5 acre site, becomes one of the largest Audi dealerships in the North of England as well as the first in the region demonstrating the latest Audi brand concept.

Benfield Motor Group employs over 1,500 staff and has 34 retail outlets throughout the North East of England, Yorkshire, Cumbria and South West Scotland across a portfolio 16 car retail brands. The family-owned business said it was proud to be bringing such a prestigious development to the region.

Mark Squires, Benfield’s Chief Executive, said, “I am enormously proud of our new Audi development. With its stunning modern design, beautiful showroom and unrivalled customer service and aftersales facilities, I believe it is the most impressive motor retailing site in the North of England. It underlines Audi’s leadership in the prestige car market by making such a powerful statement of what the brand represents, stunning design and the latest in technological innovation, coupled with genuine desire to deliver a world class experience for its customers. Customers will love the new showroom facilities, our customer lounge and the all-new Audi car configurator room, the first outside of London, as well as the biggest choice of Approved Used Audis we have ever been able to offer in Newcastle. From facilities which were beginning to tire, compared with our North Tyneside, Wearside and Teesside centres, the new Newcastle Audi will become the proud flagship for North East Audi.”

The new development replaces the present Audi dealership on Scotswood Road and the new state-of-the-art show room has space for 19 car display area and there is a used car display area with space for over 80 vehicles. The overall development also includes a full aftersales facility, a 19-bay workshop, customer car parking and a private lounge area with free Wifi and refreshments.
