Burnsville Volkswagen site approved

Posted under Burnsville,News on Thursday 19 August 2010 at 1:12 pm

The Luther Co. received City Council approval Aug. 17 to build a new Burnsville Volkswagen dealership at 14551 Burnhaven Drive, between Buck Hill Road and Burnsville Center.

The council approved a planned unit development for the dealership, to be located on the 6.7-acre site that was once home to a   General Cinema movie theater, which has been razed. The site is just south of TGI Friday’s.

Burnsville Volkswagen recently moved from its longtime home on Embassy Road west of I-35W in north Burnsville. The dealership is occupying the old Saturn building on Buck Hill Road until the new building is built.

In 2006 the council approved plans for a Hyundai dealership on the Burnhaven Drive site, but Luther Co., which owns the property, never built the project. At one time it was proposed to be a joint Hyundai-Volkswagen dealership.

Luther has been mulling  plans for a new site to replace the cramped Embassy Road site for more than a decade.
