Recently, I came across a local warehouse with a upstairs loft apartment. The upstairs apartment has separate access and has a really cool "warehouse/urban/industrial" look. Below that, and with a separate overhead door entrance is this big expanse of warehouse space with climate control.
My thought is, turn that space into a cool "garage" space with racing banners and such, then rent wide parking spaces out to people with classic cars or sports cars. I think in theory, this "Jay Leno esque" storage sounds cool, but then I'm wondering if there could be problems and liabilities with having a bunch of nice cars stored together. I'm thinking theft, door dings if people park close, and just other issues I haven't considered.
My old boss used to store a couple classic cars in an airplane hanger, but then they were tucked in a corner and other pilots sharing the hanger never messed with them. So, if you needed off site storage for your cars, would you consider a "members only" type storage warehouse where your car was stored in an open space. Would you fear people would mess with your car? Or do you think since only members would have access that people would treat the cars with respect?
There's also a freight elevator to more storage in the basement, but I thought about turning this into a club lounge for members and shop space for projects. I'm thinking a sort of Collector Car Lounge and Storage Showroom.
Good idea or bad idea?
