Giving Your Car Storage Challenges a Lift

If you’ve been looking at Monterey Motorsport Park for your collection, you may be trying to decide what size of garage-condo you want or need. Here’s something that will make both your cars and your budget happy. The right lifts from Edwards and Sons Automotive Equipment.

Single-Post Storage Lifts Maximize Space Efficiency

If all you know about lifts are the two-post and four-post variety, Edwards and Sons’ single-post lifts will be a clear revelation. As the name implies, these lifts rely on a single post to support vehicles weighing up to 6,000 pounds. Once a car is up in the air, the post is practically out of the picture.

Rather than cluttering your garage floor space, you’ll have plenty of room to park another vehicle under the lift without worrying about door dings, scratches or broken mirrors.

With a single-post lift, you can safely and securely raise the underside of your car almost  6 1/2 feet off the floor — nearly 77 inches — providing plenty of room to park a second car underneath. Monterey Motorsport Park’s soaring ceilings of up to 25 feet and 13-foot clearance to the mezzanine in each unit offers plenty of room for elevating your vehicles.

Plus, with an overall width of around 9 feet, you can fit multiple single-post lifts into even some of the smallest units — to accommodate a growing collection in a relatively modest amount of space.

Simple to Operate, Safe and a Wide Selection

Every Edwards and Sons lift is easy to operate at the touch of a button and has numerous safety features built in — such as safety stops with audible “clanks” as you raise the lift. The nearly 31-inch approach ramp in the single-post design is ideal for low-profile vehicles such as Ferraris or Corvettes to ensure that the front-end doesn’t hit the track as you drive the vehicle onto the lift.

Edwards and Sons manufactures and sells a wide array of lifts for various needs including two- and four-posters, as well as powerful rotary lifts for car service businesses locating at Monterey Motorsport Park and even drop tail motorcycle lifts if you have a large collection of motorcycles.

Edwards and Sons Automotive Equipment is a second-generation family-owned business based in Pleasanton, which has been serving customers since 1987. For more information about their lifts and how they can work for you at Monterey Motorsport Park, contact our brokerage team. For technical questions, you can reach out to Kerry Edwards at Edwards and Sons: 1-800-48-EDWARDS or email info@EandSinc.com. Contractor state license #716505.

An Uplifting Investment

Monterey Motorsport Park offers car collectors and motorsports enthusiasts that rare opportunity to take advantage of a promising investment and be part of something you’re passionate about at the same time.

Over time, investments in Monterey Peninsula property have typically performed exceptionally well. And while there can be no guarantees about Monterey Motorsport Park’s future prospects, previous developments such as Garage Unlimited of Monterey have demonstrated strong resale values — even in the short term. Long-term prospects may be even better. As always, you should consult with an investment advisor or your CPA before buying.

Beyond the intrinsic investment value, this is an asset you can really enjoy. A community of owners just like you, who are passionate about cars or motorcycles. And who are planning to use their mezzanine to customize a luxury leisure space with fiber-optic Internet connection and optional cable TV…or create a personal office where they’ll spend time with friends and associates — especially on race days or during Monterey Car Week. This just may become your home away from home.

Units Going Quickly

Construction is moving quickly toward a scheduled completion later this fall. Check it out on our live cam. The pace of sales has also increased since Car Week with the move-in now mere weeks away

Article cites growing trend in car condos nationwide — popularity points to long-term investment potential

Perhaps you’ve been considering whether to purchase a garage-condo at Monterey Motorsport Park. But possibly you’ve wondered whether this is a value-driven trend, or a passing fad.

Based on an article in The Wall Street Journal’s August 29th edition, it appears it’s the former. Car condo development is in high gear. In Michigan. Just outside Chicago, Illinois. Near Vancouver, Canada. In Silicon Valley. And of course, right here on the beautiful Monterey Peninsula. Car condos appeal to buyers who have a passion for collecting cars or who need to store sports cars or exotics they use to test their driving abilities on track days.

Gordon McCall, who will move his firm, McCall Events to Monterey Motorsport Park when the complex opens later this fall, was quoted in the Journal as saying, “Space is key for car collectors. People do not want to have to sell a car to make space for a new one. Owners trick out their spaces. You can have a satellite office, or a lounge where people can hang out in a place other than their home, while communing with their cars or motorcycles.”

Sales Model Opens as Construction Races Toward Finish at Monterey Motorsport Park

Monterey Motorsport Park is no longer a vision of the next generation of garage-condos. It’s a reality you can touch, see and explore.

The summer weather has allowed us to make significant progress toward our planned opening in just a couple of months. And now, there’s a fully furnished sales model that you can see online in a 3-dimensional tour — or better yet, schedule 30 minutes with our brokerage team to stroll through the space and experience it in-person.

Walking Tour of Sales Model

Come on in. Take a look around Unit 11A. Notice how spacious the garage floor is, large enough to store multiple vehicles — and more if space-saving lifts are used. There’s plenty of room to wrench on your cars, if that’s your thing — as well as to store parts and install cabinets for your tools.

The art gracing the walls? Yes, those are stunning — but they’re not photographs. They’re paintings by Thierry Thompson, an internationally renowned master fine artist whose work hangs in prestigious collections worldwide — including the corporate collections of Porsche and Mercedes Benz, noted museums, galleries and public spaces such as the Pentagon. Thanks go to Light+Shadow Fine Art in Carmel-by-the-Sea for loaning us the framed works.

Follow me upstairs to the mezzanine. This space is what transforms Monterey Motorsport Park from a storage facility into a unique car community. Owners can customize their mezzanine into anything from an office to a luxurious personal space like this one — with big-screen TV, wet bar and dining area, and richly appointed lounge. A great place for entertaining friends and associates on race days…or anytime.

Looking around, you can see how light and airy these garage-condos are — with soaring ceilings and ample glass to let the sunshine in. This is not some dingy storage unit. It truly is a one-of-a-kind indulgence for people who are passionate about their car collections and motorsports.

Want to see the space rather than read about it? A 3D tour is here. Better yet, contact a member of our brokerage team to arrange a personal tour.

Construction Continues on Schedule

Construction progress is proceeding rapidly at Monterey Motorsport Park. Part of the parking lot is paved — you can drive right up to the door of our sales model. Our final PG&E conduit inspection will happen within a week. After that, our general contractor and co-developer, SWENSON, will mount the switch gears and pull cable for the electricity supply.

The last retaining wall footing will be poured this week. Storm drain improvements are in progress and will be completed prior to paving the remainder of the parking lot at the end of October. More importantly, stucco and painting are complete on three of the four buildings in the complex: A, B and C. Stucco work will begin on Building D in about a week. Final completion of this extraordinary complex for car enthusiasts isn’t far away now — check out our live construction cam to follow the progress.

It’s Getting Late for Early Birds

Time is running out for early birds who want the best selection — when there’s still time to discuss combining units or making other modifications to suit your specific needs or desires.

As always, luxury amenities for all owners at Monterey Motorsport Park include:

  • A completely fenced facility — with access-controlled entry to the complex, video surveillance and proactive remote guarding services
  • Oversized roll-up doors for easily moving vehicles into and out of your garage-condo
  • A separate walk-in door for you and your guests
  • Soaring ceilings in each unit to as much as 25 feet — to accommodate the comfortable, roomy mezzanines
  • High-speed fiber optic Internet and cable TV access

One-of-a-Kind Double Unit Just Became Available at Monterey Motorsport Park

Thanks to an early prospect deciding to go another direction at Monterey Motorsport Park, the rarest of rare opportunities has opened up. The only double unit in Building C.

For the collector with a growing complement of cars — or someone who wants to run a permitted business such as e-commerce-driven automobile sales, or perhaps combine his or her business with personal storage space — you have to check out this unique garage-condo.

Widest Unit at Monterey Motorsport Park

Because the demising wall between the two separate units was removed to accommodate the original prospect’s requirements, Unit 6/7C is the widest in the complex — at 56 feet wide and 29.5 feet deep. One set of stairs leading up to the mezzanine was also removed. Plus, the 2,195 sq. ft. garage-condo offers two 14×14 roll-up doors for improved maneuverability moving your cars in and out.

The double-sized mezzanine also provides an extraordinary amount of room for creating a leisure retreat or personal office, and maybe adding a restroom, utilty room or personal storage — whatever you want to build out in the space. And of course, there’s ample ground floor garage space for a large collection of cars, work area, parts storage, cabinets, and more.

Sales Ramping Up After Car Week

If you’re interested in this one-of-a-kind double unit, better step on it…because sales are accelerating with increased interest following Monterey Car Week. A lot of people got to see Monterey Motorsport Park first-hand, and while construction won’t be complete for another few months, the excitement is building as collectors and motorsports enthusiasts now have a vision of what the finished facility will look like. Unit 6/7C is value-priced at $757,000.

All told, there are only 86 luxury garage-condos totaling approximately 90,000 sq. ft. of space. Everything is first class throughout — these units are nothing like a dusty warehouse or bare-bones mini-storage — with access-controlled entry, video surveillance and proactive remote guarding, high-speed fiber optic Internet and cable TV connections available, soaring ceilings of up to 25 feet, and much more. The result will be an exclusive car community that you’ll feel privileged to be a part of.

Monterey Motorsport Park Shines During Monterey Car Week

Monterey Car Week has come and gone — and it was another whirlwind of delights for the senses: Spectacular cars of all makes, models and pedigrees. Eye-opening shows and auctions. Every type of food and drink imaginable. The breathtaking scenery that can only be found on the Monterey Peninsula. The heart-pumping excitement of the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca. And fascinating car and motorsports enthusiasts from every walk of life.

We relished every moment and each event we attended this year — from the elegance of McCall’s Motorworks Revival at the Monterey Jet Center and high style of Concorso Italiano to the two events we co-hosted at Monterey Motorsport Park itself. We enjoyed seeing many old friends and meeting many new ones. And we’re already looking forward to Monterey Car Week 2020, when our owners will be able to use their luxury garage-condos as a gathering place: to store their cars, have friends and associates over and relax during the busy week.

Lifelong local resident, Gordon McCall, is not only widely recognized for all he does on the Monterey Peninsula, but he has also earned a well-deserved reputation as one of the most sought-after experts on collector cars and motorcycles in the world.

Founder and co-host with his wife, Molly, of McCall’s Motorworks Revival, which annually kicks Car Week into high gear at the Monterey Jet Center — McCall has also served as a specialist for the Christie’s International global auction house and a class judge and field coordinator for more than 25 years at the prestigious Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.

His latest venture is hosting a new television series, “Road to Provenance,” which has McCall traveling around the globe to highlight noteworthy vehicles, private collections or international automotive events of interest to enthusiasts.

You can read all about McCall and his many ventures — including his role as part of the development team behind Monterey Motorsport Park in the Summer/Fall 2019 edition of Carmel Magazine, currently on newsstands and in bookstores and retail outlets throughout the area.

In fact, Gordon is more than just a driving force behind this unique car community — he’ll be moving his business, McCall Events, and his collection of cars and motorcycles, and Molly will relocate her gallery of paintings and photographs to Monterey Motorsport Park once it opens scheduled for this fall.

Building a True Community at Monterey Motorsport Park and Giving Back

 837 500 Monterey Motorsport Park
By:
0

From Day One, we’ve shared how Monterey Motorsport Park will be more than a collection of dusty storage units like a typical mini-storage facility. Rather, it will be a collection of exclusive garage-condos, customized by dedicated car enthusiasts and owners who are part of a vibrant car community.

As part of building that community spirit, Monterey Motorsport Park has become actively involved in a number of local charities — even before the community opens later this fall.

Raising Funds for Northern California Special Olympics

One of those activities is Police in Pursuit (PIP) — a car-driven fundraiser in which local law enforcement officers race their “souped-up” retired patrol vehicles at Ocean Speedway in Watsonville. The 15-lap competition around the 1/4-mile dirt oval is loads of fun and comes with bragging rights and a trophy. But most importantly, it raises funds so that special athletes from throughout Northern California can follow their dreams in athletic pursuits.

Monterey Motorsport Park recently made a donation to Special Olympics that brought with it title sponsorship of a car driven by Detective Dan Anderson with the San Jose Police Department’s Special Investigations Unit. Although relatively new to track-driving, Detective Dan pulled off a stunning come-from-behind victory in the June PIP feature race at Ocean Speedway. More details are in the photo caption below.

Detective Dan Anderson of the San Jose Police Department Special Investigations Unit won his first career Police in Pursuit main event with a last ditch effort to top AJ Waltrip of the Santa Cruz Sheriff’s Office. Roy Iler of the San Benito Sheriff’s Office showed the way and looked poised to take the victory as he extended his lead. On lap 12, Iler’s car suddenly slowed with a flat tire down the backstretch allowing AJ Waltrip by for the lead. Waltrip and Anderson had been around each other for much of the race and with Iler’s misfortune, the battle for second quickly turned into a fight for the win. Anderson was held up behind Iler’s stricken car for a moment, but as the white flag flew, Anderson closed back in on Waltrip. In the final corner, Waltrip blocked low, while Anderson drove around the outside and powered by Waltrip to grab the win at the line. The margin of victory was just over two-tenths of a second. John Hohmann of the Scotts Valley PD charged from last to take the third step on the podium. Dan Anderson was also the heat race victor. 

Contributing to Other Worthy Causes

Monterey Motorsport Park has also gotten involved in raising funds for other extraordinarily worthwhile organizations, such as Bridge Culinary, which caters local events while providing money to help fund vital programs for the Bridge Restoration Ministry of Pacific Grove. In addition, a Car Week invitation-only fundraiser will benefit SNIP — the Spay Neuter Imperative Project — which offers below-cost, mobile spay and neuter services to pet owners in Monterey and San Benito Counties.

“We’re committed to being part of the fabric of the community,” said Ralph Borelli, co-founder and a member of the development team. “With long-time area residents such as Gordon McCall of McCall Events — who will be locating his business and bringing his personal collections here — and many other local owners, we’re pleased to feel so accepted on the Monterey Peninsula.”

Buildings Are Rising Quickly

Construction is continuing at a rapid pace in the summer months at Monterey Motorsport Park. When it opens in Q4, the community will feature:

  • Spacious mezzanines above the garage floor in each unit, for owners who want to create a personal office, leisure or recreational space — or just for extra storage
  • Oversized roll-up doors for easily moving vehicles into and out of your garage-condo
  • A separate walk-in door for you and your guests
  • Soaring ceilings in each unit to as much as 25 feet
  • Access-controlled entry to the community, with video surveillance and proactive remote guarding services
  • High-speed fiber optic Internet and cable TV options for each unit
