A $15 million car condo development called Grand Lux Motor Condos has opened in Urbandale, Iowa, designed for car enthusiasts to store and showcase their vehicles in style. The development features 41 units, with prices starting at $330,000 and exceeding $500,000. Each unit can be customized with bathrooms, limited kitchens, office areas, and living rooms, all designed to provide a perfect view of the vehicles.
Community for Car Enthusiasts
Developer David Greenspon came up with the idea after visiting similar car condos in other cities. The largest car condo spans over 7,000 square feet and includes a kitchen, living room, golf simulator, and space for a dozen cars. Greenspon explained that the development is designed to foster a community among car enthusiasts, providing a space for like-minded people to connect and showcase their vehicles.
Car collector David Baum, one of the first condo owners, described the space as “the best of all worlds for anybody that collects vehicles and motorcycles, cars, trucks, whatever it might be.” Baum keeps five cars in his unit, which he calls his personal museum, free of lawnmowers and snow blowers.
