Auto enthusiasts spend a lot of time worrying about their prized possessions. Finding a good place to store an expensive car, or collection, can be a real headache since even the most luxurious condominium developments provide only one or two parking places that often leave cars exposed to the elements. If that scenario wasn’t bad enough, in Florida, where there is a very real possibility of tropical storms and hurricanes, the potential for damage is enormous. Car collectors Michael and Dayna Heit have a clever solution: DreamCar Carriage House, a deluxe car condo where automobiles can be stored in weatherproof, air-conditioned garages with 24-hour security, concierge services, and other amenities.

The DreamCar Carriage House car condo concept has generated so much interest that they are scouting other Florida locations, including Palm Beach, Naples, and Miami, to build additional facilities. Heit is also working to attract other related businesses, such as a vintage car dealership and a car-themed restaurant, to transform the Fort Lauderdale area into a destination point for car enthusiasts. They are taking reservations for the first facility, slated to open in spring 2007.
“The building is located out of the flood zone, west of the evacuation area, and constructed to be hurricane proof,” she said. “It offers owners a beautiful, convenient, and safe place to park their vintage vehicles and protect their investment.”
