Regal Kia is building a new dealership on US 98 South
Where it is. On US 98 South on Highway 98 South.
A new Kia dealership is going up on Highway 98 South in Lakeland, with an $8.5 million building and store signs already permitted.
Records show a new automotive dealership for Regal Kia taking shape at 925–951 Highway 98 South in Lakeland. The city issued a commercial building permit in July 2025 for new construction of the dealership, with a reported construction value of $8.5 million and Burke Construction Group listed as the building contractor.
Since then, a steady run of permits has followed the usual path of a building coming together: fire sprinkler, fire alarm and underground fire-line systems, mechanical and electrical work, data cabling, and a set of Regal Kia store signs issued in June 2026. A general variance tied to the site was approved on August 4, 2026.
The property owner is listed in the permit records as SVC Holdings 2009 LLC, and Spring Engineering filed the variance. The records don't give an opening date.
