Nissan

Progressive Companies has developed a long-standing relationship with Nissan North America (NNA) since the inception of the Nissan Retail Environment Design Initiative (NREDI), gaining deep insight into the brand’s evolving standards and requirements. Through collaboration with Nissan and preferred vendors, we navigate both renovations and new construction to deliver seamless, brand-aligned dealership environments.

Gastonia Nissan, Gastonia, NC

Progressive Companies designed a new 30,000 square-foot, single-story Nissan dealership for Hudson Automotive under the original NREDI 1.0 program. Prioritizing visibility and customer comfort, the facility reflects NREDI’s core principles. Strategic sightlines allow sales managers to easily oversee customer interactions, while the open-plan layout promotes accessibility and engagement. Key features include a four-vehicle showroom, a spacious customer lounge, and an 18-bay service shop, all designed for operational efficiency and a positive customer experience.

Progressive Companies renovated these Modern Automotive dealerships to meet Nissan Retail Concept Generation 2.0 standards. Originally built under NREDI 1.0, the upgrades required a targeted approach—removing outdated elements and integrating new branding features. Scope highlights included reinforcing curtain walls, modifying façades to incorporate Nissan Tablet signage and ACM, and updating showrooms, lounges, and service drives. We worked closely with owners and operations teams to adapt layouts while maintaining brand compliance. Coordination with Nissan North America and the construction partner ensured variance approvals and a smooth transition to next-gen standards.

These projects demonstrate Progressive Companies’ commitment to enhancing automotive retail through thoughtful design and expert execution.
