If you collect stamps, spoons, or vintage records, you probably don’t have to worry too much about finding a home with adequate space for your collection. But if you are someone who prefers an actual REO Speedwagon instead of the band’s Hi Infidelity album on vinyl, finding a home with adequate space for your collection may be a bit tricky. If you live in central Pennsylvania, however, you’re in luck.
A new multifamily development dubbed Concours at Carlisle will offer luxurious condo living with ample car collection storage in close proximity to prominent car collector events in the region. The Concours will comprise 40 auto condos equipped with a climate-controlled, multiple-car garage and an interior mezzanine overlooking the space. Each garage features high ceilings that can accommodate lifts or stacked storage, floor drains, sprinkler systems, CO2 detectors, and water and electric hookups. Owners can also customize their collection space to include heated floors, car lifts, compressed air systems, and tool bench packages.

The condos are available in 1 ½ to 3 story models in various sizes and configurations. Like the garages, the condos can be customized with basic to premium interior finishes, a home theater package, music system, security/surveillance system, wine cellar, custom bar, hot tub, sauna, and furniture.
Galbraith pre-design will handle design-build duties for the community that is scheduled to open summer 2018.
