Big 4 Motors Relocates to Tsuut’ina Reserve

Longtime Calgary auto dealership Big 4 Motors has relocated to a business park on the Tsuut’ina reserve.

Big 4 has taken up 60,000 square feet in Taza Park. The Tsuut’ina reserve is governed by the First Nation of the same name and situated adjacent to Calgary’s southwestern edge.

Big 4 owner Wood Automotive Group decided to relocate the dealership after operating it within the Calgary city limits for the past four decades.

“We’re delighted to be doing a venture that’s helping First Nations people grow and develop,” said Gerry Wood, the automotive group’s founder and executive chair, in a video on Big 4’s website. “The west side of the city definitely does not have a lot of auto dealerships.”

Taza Park is a joint-venture project between the First Nation and Montreal-based development, investment and asset management firm Canderel Group. Wood Automotive Group has leased about 30 acres of land in Taza Park under a 95-year agreement, according to the Calgary Herald.

The company is now constructing a new Volkswagen dealership in the business park.
