Genesis of Naples breaks ground for new auto dealership

Genesis of Naples, privately owned and operated by the Zellers family of Naples since 2018, announced construction has officially begun on its new, stand-alone Genesis automobile dealership at the intersection of Pine Ridge Road and Interstate 75 in North Naples.

For family members and the entire team, this groundbreaking represents far more than the start of a building — it is the realization of a dream that has endured challenge after challenge and never wavered.

“This moment carries tremendous emotion for all of us,” said Tim Zellers, owner of Genesis of Naples. “We believed in this project with our whole hearts, even when the path felt uncertain and the obstacles seemed endless. What pushed us forward was our responsibility: to our family business, our customers, and a community that has trusted us for generations. They deserve this facility, and we refused to let setbacks stop us.”

When complete, the new 12-acre Genesis campus will showcase more than 30,000 square feet dedicated exclusively to Genesis auto sales, service and luxury customer experiences — one of the first of its kind in the worldwide Genesis network. The facility will join a growing number of new standalone locations being built in the United States, offering service, parts and a premium selection of vehicles, and will be convenient to shoppers across Naples, Bonita Springs, Estero and the east coast of Florida.
