A limited liability company affiliated with Mark Porcaro, president of
Porcaro Ford, has purchased 6.2 acres of land at the southeast corner of 96
th Street and Washington Avenue (Highway 20) near I-94 in Racine County, according to state records.
MAP 9503, LLC, of Racine, paid $4.8 million for the property, which is located in the village of Sturtevant immediately to the east of a sprawling Frank Boucher Kia dealership.
The property was long occupied by Gates Collision Center. Gerber Collision & Glass, 9501 Washington Ave., currently owns the collision business at the site. The seller of the property was a limited liability company affiliated with Troy Gates, which owned and operated several Gates Collision centers before selling them to Canadian company Boyd Group, which operates under the name Gerber Collision & Glass in the United States, in 2019.
It was not immediately clear if Mark Porcaro has any plans for the property. A call made to Porcaro Ford, which is located at 6001 Washington Ave. in the village of Mount Pleasant, about two and a half miles east of the Sturtevant parcel, was not immediately returned.
