  • Rallye breaks ground on new $37M Jericho dealership | Long Island Business News

    THE BLUEPRINT:

    • Rallye breaks ground on $37M Lexus dealership in Jericho

    • New 67,000-sq-ft facility to replace Glen Cove location by 2027

    • Features include EV charging, tech-enhanced service center, valet

    Elected officials and business leaders joined executives of Rallye Motor Company earlier this month at a groundbreaking ceremony for its new $37 million dealership in Jericho. 

    The new 67,000-square-foot dealership building is being constructed on a 5-acre site that once housed two office buildings at 125 and 131 Jericho Turnpike that were demolished last year. Rallye will be relocating from its longtime 32,000-square-foot facility in Glen Cove and expanding to the new Lexus dealership that will be about twice the size. The Jericho dealership is expected to open in early 2027.

    “Since Rallye’s founding, we’ve remained dedicated to delivering world-class luxury experiences for our customers,” said Juliana Terian, Rallye president and CEO, said in a company statement. “This flagship Lexus facility represents both the strength of our partnership with Lexus and our continued investment in serving our beloved Long Island community with timeless excellence.” 

    Rallye’s Jericho dealership will feature a spacious showroom, enhanced service center with advanced technology and SUV loaner vehicles, valet pick up and drop off, EV charging stations and more. 

    “Lexus entered the United States market 36 years ago, and Rallye has been a valued partner since the very beginning,” Patrick Ehlen, general manager for Lexus Eastern Area, said in the statement. “We have always recognized that a key component of our success lies in our local dealers’ dedication to their communities and team members—a commitment that remains as strong today as ever…This investment reflects the core philosophy that each dealer treats every customer as a guest in their own home.” 

    An entity of Rallye purchased the two five-story office buildings on nearly 4 acres for $15.7 million at a foreclosure auction in 2018, and the company later purchased adjoining parcels to make room for the new development. 

    “The new dealership has been years in the making,” John Tetta, general manager of Rallye Lexus, said in the statement. “As Lexus redefines what luxury means through its design and tech, we recognized our facility must be as advanced as the Lexus vehicle itself, to elevate the showroom experience to the same level as our renowned customer care.” 

    Founded in 1958 by Peter Terian and a few friends as a small, imported car service garage, Rallye has become the largest luxury automotive group on Long Island and is one of the few woman-owned car dealer groups in the country. Rallye has locations in Roslyn, East Hills, Westbury and Glen Cove and represents automotive brands Acura, BMW, Lexus, Mercedes-Benz and Sprinter.
