The new dealership will total around 117,676 square feet.

North of Interstate 90 in Issaquah, about 4 acres was cleared in recent months for a long-planned new Evergreen Ford dealership. Its current leased location is about two miles west, closer to downtown, but south of the freeway.

Strotkamp Architects designed the project at 22975 S.E 66th St. (a new address that doesn't yet map). That's near the Heidelberg Materials and Lakeside Industries gravel pits and plants.

Foushee is building the new dealership, to total around 117,676 square feet, including two levels of structured parking and one of rooftop parking. The building will be for both sales and service.

Construction is to be Type II-B concrete and steel. The ground was cleared and dewatered last year. Foushee says on Instagram that it began drilling geo-piers in June.

Foushee says it began drilling geo-piers in June.

Surface and structured parking will total around 484 stalls, nearly half with EV charging. (The Mustang Mach-E is a very popular electric vehicle.)

The team also includes O'Neill Services Group, arborist; Cas Engineering, electrical; Robison Engineering, plumbing; Robert Roffee, mechanical engineer; GeoEngineers, geotechnical; Peterson Strehle Martinson, structural engineer; SCJ Studio, landscape architect; LDC, civil engineer; Hansen Surveying; ArchEcology, sustainability consultant; and Hansen Real Estate, owner's rep.

The official moniker is Cam Clark Evergreen Ford; Cam Clark is a Canadian auto dealer with operations all over that country and ours. It acquired the property, once used for a dog kennel, four years ago for $12 million.

Public records indicate a 3-year-old loan from HSBC Bank, seemingly in anticipation of an earlier start date. That was then for $125 million in Canadian dollars — about $90 million in U.S. dollars at today's exchange rate. That deal presumably still holds.
