The 5,412-m2, 3-storey facility introduces the brand’s latest “Destination Porsche” corporate architecture concept, characterised by a strong emphasis on brand experience, with the aim of creating a gathering space for like-minded Porsche enthusiasts whilst appealing to new customers.

Keeping up with Porsche’s newfound green initiatives, the new dealership architecture features a full-length light well which allows as much natural light as possible to enter the building. This minimises light fittings and reduces electricity consumption.

Porsche Centre JB is also well-equipped with 175-kW high-performance DC and 22-kW AC charging points that are available exclusively for use to all Porsche Taycan owners.
