Darland was selected as the construction manager for Village Pointe Toyota, located along the busy West Dodge Road corridor in Omaha. The dealership is managed by the Van Tuyl Group, the largest privately held auto dealership group in the nation. 

“We always work with local contractors because we need and value the local relationships," said Bob Carli of the Van Tuyl Group.  "We found that Darland has outstanding relationships with their subs. They got the job done with no excuses, no delays.” 

The building features a distinctive mix of materials including glass, precast concrete and aluminum composite architectural panels designed for an eye-catching impact. The 7.8-acre site is able to display over 550 vehicles and provides over 100 parking spots for staff and customers, nearly tripling the capacity of the previous dealership site. 

“The Darland team was excellent to work with, they think from an owner’s perspective," Carli said. "They gave me intelligent options and made it easy for me to get this job done.” 

Construction also included the installation of a StormTech® water detention system. “Stormwater management was a big part of the job, but something the public will never see,” said Darland project manager, Mike Thomsen. “Ten, 62-foot, large-diameter underground pipes retain runoff from the parking lots. It’s critical to have reliable stormwater management when you have this much paving.”
