A major site plan for a 35,325-square-foot Tesla dealership in Port St. Lucie is set for a City Council vote, with the proposed facility to include sales, showroom, and maintenance bays in the Tradition area. The Tesla dealership would be located at the southeast corner of SW Becker Road and SW Anthony F. Sansone Sr. Boulevard, according to official city documents.
Tesla Dealership Proposal in Port St. Lucie
The main keyword, Tesla dealership, features prominently in the current site plan application before the Port St. Lucie City Council. The proposed building would offer Tesla sales, a showroom, and service bays, totaling 35,325 square feet. The location is within the Southern Grove development, a key commercial corridor in the Tradition district of PSL.
Site Details and Access Requirements
The dealership site is planned for the southeast corner of SW Becker Road and SW Anthony F. Sansone Sr. Boulevard. According to city staff, full access to the dealership depends on the completion of the extension of SW Anthony F. Sansone Sr. Boulevard south of Becker Road. At present, the intersection only permits left turns from the boulevard onto Becker and right turns, limiting site entry and exit options.
- Building size: 35,325 square feet
- Uses: Tesla sales, showroom, and maintenance bays
- Access: Contingent on Sansone Blvd extension south of Becker Road
Southern Grove Development and Economic Context
Southern Grove is being developed as a jobs and commercial corridor for Tradition in Port St. Lucie. The area’s infrastructure, including the planned Sansone Boulevard extension, is designed to support new commercial projects such as the Tesla dealership. According to city economic development officials, this aligns with PSL’s strategy to attract high-profile employers and technology brands.
History of Tesla Efforts in PSL
About four years ago, Port St. Lucie officials attempted to attract Tesla’s corporate headquarters to Florida. While that effort did not result in a headquarters relocation, the city now appears focused on securing a Tesla dealership and service center presence, according to official sources.
Council Vote and Next Steps
The City Council’s vote on the major site plan will determine approval of the Tesla dealership’s site layout, building size, and access configuration. Officials report that the dealership’s opening will remain dependent on the completion of the necessary roadway improvements, especially the southern extension of SW Anthony F. Sansone Sr. Boulevard. Details may be updated as the project advances and as the city provides further information.
