NEW YORK – INFINITI announced today that the company has awarded a new INFINITI dealership in Manhattan to BNF Partners NY, led by managing partner Gary B. Flom. INFINITI of Manhattan will be located at 787 Eleventh Avenue in Manhattan, anchoring INFINITI's presence in the heart of New York City's automotive district.
The all-new INFINITI of Manhattan will welcome clients with a state-of-the-art retail environment. Located in the heart of New York City, the world's premier luxury marketplace, the new dealership will be finished to flagship standards and will be equipped with one of the largest capacity automotive service centers in Manhattan. The new retailer will offer clients a convenient location for purchasing, leasing or servicing their INFINITI in the Manhattan area.
"BNF Partners and Mr. Flom are ideally suited to representing INFINITI in Manhattan," said Randy Parker, vice president, INFINITI Americas. "We look forward to working with the BNF team to offer current and future INFINITI clients a modern, welcoming environment in which we can provide the signature INFINITI customer experience."
The design of the new facility will be a showcase for the INFINITI brand, which is aimed at creating lasting relationships with customers, extending far beyond the sale of the vehicle.
"We are beyond thrilled to bring the INFINITI brand onto Manhattan's automotive scene," said Gary B. Flom. "Since INFINITI is known as an industry leader in innovation and technology, the brand directly aligns with our forward–thinking reputation as New York City's premier automotive group."
While renovations are underway to transform the new permanent dealership facility into an automotive retail destination, sales operations are scheduled to commence at the end of 2015 in an interim showroom at 748 Eleventh Avenue (corner of 11th & W52nd), while the service drop off point will be at 625 W 55th Street in New York.
