The Woodridge Plan Commission will consider a special use permit request from Chicago Motor Cars to open a 68,400-square-foot luxury car dealership and repair center at 900 Boughton Road. The site was previously home to several furniture stores, but the village has determined that a furniture business is no longer viable at this location.

Why it matters

The proposed dealership would bring a new high-end automotive business to Woodridge, potentially generating tax revenue and economic activity for the village. However, the plan must first be approved by the Plan Commission, which will evaluate factors like traffic impact and compatibility with the surrounding commercial area.

The details

Chicago Motor Cars plans to renovate and convert the existing structure into a dealership that would primarily sell "exotic" and "luxury" vehicles with an average price over $100,000. The dealership would house up to 25 vehicles on-site, with the majority displayed outdoors and stored indoors at night. Chicago Motor Cars already has locations in Naperville and West Chicago.

• The Woodridge Plan Commission meeting to consider the special use permit is scheduled for March 2, 2026 at 7 p.m.

What’s next

If the special use permit is approved by the Plan Commission, Chicago Motor Cars would then need to obtain the necessary permits and approvals to begin renovations and open the new dealership location.
