Luxury “car condos” are spreading across the United States, recasting private garages as upscale spaces where owners store vehicles and socialize.
The appeal goes beyond parking: these units function as clubhouses, with customized interiors such as bars, libraries, mezzanines and large-screen TVs built around prized collections.
In Carrollton, Texas, former racecar driver Jack Griffin, 81, keeps 11 of his 12 Porsches in a double-size condo decorated with racing photos and family heirlooms.
The trend reflects a growing market among affluent car enthusiasts who see ordinary assigned parking as insufficient and want dedicated real estate for both vehicles and community.
