The dealership would be the first for the Hyundai luxury brand for the northern Charlotte suburbs. There currently are two other local locations from different owners, on Independence Boulevard and in Concord.

MNLN LLC wants to take a parking lot on the north side of Modern Nissan and build a 25,000-square-foot building for sales and service. It would be adjacent to the entrance of Lake Norman Mini Golf.
