This question has been asked many times so i'm pinning the answer: when someone's car is on top, yes the cars underneath have to come out. We are mitigating the inconvenience of this in several ways: 1) only very rarely driven cars (or cars that don't drive at all) will be stored on top. 2) We have a proprietary app which a member can use to notify us at any point or time they would like their car. If they are more than a few blocks away at the time they let us know, we can get the car down in about 10 minutes, so no one has to wait. You can also schedule to have your car ready for you at any time. 3) We have VIP spaces where, if you are certain you don't want to be on a lift, we can have your car on the floor and ready at all times.

@Fansthemans Zanz tilt-up walls would require additional excavation on the outside to place the wall upright, apply waterproofing and backfill with drainage material. I think with the shotcrete they can get the building closer to the property line and maximize the underground storage area. Also the tilt-walls require a huge crane to lift them into place, which they may not have had a place for at the time. And of course there's the time required for the tilt panels to sit and cure on the slab, and the slab may not have been big enough to pour all the panels at once, which would stretch out the schedule much longer.

One of our specialties will be serving folks just like you! If you live out of town and come to LA frequently for biz or pleasure, having your own sports car here is much more rewarding than having your own apartment or home. With our free LAX pickup and dropoff service and less than 2 miles from the airport, we are an ideal solution for these folks, because we also have the members lounge, which they can use as their office if they like while in town. It's more than just a garage, it's a LA home base for you and your car, and even if you get a nearby hotel (there is a Mariott 100 yards away) it's far cheaper than a crib in this part of town.

Interesting. What’s the process for getting a car from the top row off the stacker? Let’s say I need a place to put my McLaren P1, and I might drive it 3x one month, and then let it sit for the next 4 months. If my car is on the 2nd row, will someone have to drive my P1 to unload it from the lift in order for those with their car parked right above me to get unloaded? Will cars be put on a battery tender so when you need to unload a car, it can start up? What about if a car won’t start - which may be my 4th level parked P1, but maybe is also the 3 cars below mine that need to be moved. The owners of those won’t be there when I need to get my car, so will there be mechanics on site to help facilitate in the moving of those other cars? How long will it take my car to be accessible at ground level once I request it? Can I retrieve sunglasses or court paperwork I left in the glovebox without unloading the car from the stacker? What software will you be using to best organize which cars should go up high and which cars should be stored lower? A calendar with car schedules? How many employees to manage cars will be on site? Can 4 different stackers be unloaded/loaded at the same time? Is there parking for the employees of the parking garage? I don’t have a McLaren, but my questions are still a valid exercise in logistics operations you will need to consider to keep a happy customer base in LA. You’ll be charging top dollar to park there, so clients will expect top quality service. They don’t want to hear you can’t unload their Senna because a vintage 60’s Jaguar parked under it won’t start. (some of this can be solved with wheel dollies and employees carefully - oh so carefully! - pushing the cars off the stackers. If there is room on the platform for the wheel dolly. See? I don’t just provide potential problems, I also offer solutions.)

1) Your McLaren P1 could be placed on a lower rung for the month you plan to use it, and then a higher rung for the long period of time in which you do not plan to use it. That is a possibility. Or, if you are adamant about no one touching or moving your car out of the way ever, you can have a VIP spot where you can put a cover on it and no one will ever have to move it. 2) Yes, all spots come with free battery tending at all levels of the stackers. 3) If a car won't start, we will have to push it. For that, I will keep boxes of white gloves on site. 4) It is possible to get up on the stackers without getting cars down. It involves ladders, and wont' be fun, but it is possible. We are recommending everyone who checks in a car look through the car thoroughly so you don't have to do that. 5) We have a proprietary app we are developing for both the front (customer facing) and back (management facing) aspects of the business. 6) We will have, at opening, 2 staff members on site, plus me a lot of the time. Only one stacker will be run at a time, with one person monitoring and the other physically running it. 7) Yes, but once we fill every single space with customers, it may be limited. I hope youre satisfied with the level of answers to your hypotheticals. But hypothetically, if you really did have a P1 and were really this fussy about it, I would direct you to a VIP space, which would solve the answer to all your questions with "No one will ever touch or move your car, ever."

Thank’s for the reply! While I don’t have an exotic, I do know people in LA who do and like to buy cars on a whim and then have no place to store their latest $80k impulse buy. As for planning ahead - I have 3 cars in my home’s garage, plus another in the driveway (blocking them in). Sometimes I leave a car out, so two cars in garage blocked in by 2 cars in the driveway. I try to plan out which car I will drive and when, but it doesn’t always work out as planned and sometimes I’m shuffling 3 cars around in the street to rearrange them so I can drive one that was tough to get to. And this is just me at my own house! Sometimes a car sits for a couple months. I had planned to drive it once a week, but never got around to it. So logistically speaking, it can be very difficult to say when I will next drive a car that is parked in the garage. Now compound that with 100 different owners, for 100 cars, who are paying a premium for storage and expect premium service. These are people of wealth who expect things done in a very timely fashion. I think the bottleneck of your garage design is the impressive looking 4 stacker, and the limited staff on site to retrieve customer cars. Let’s say it is July 4th weekend. There’s a good possibility people will be picking up their (insert exotic car name here), while dropping off their daily driver S Class. (I presume you are renting parking spaces, not designated for a particular car - so an owner comes to get their 911 GT3 RS, they intend to leave their other car there.) But now it is July 4th weekend. Beautiful weather - 50 customers are coming in to pick up their car and take a drive. Half of them likely won’t consider calling ahead. Logistically, a complete nightmare. You might want to include a 1 day notice for car pick ups, or people can pay a large premium to have their car kept on the underground parking for instant access. These are certainly obstacles that can be worked around with a proper system of organization. I would anticipate those 2 on site employees will be kept very busy moving cars a day before pickup so that each car to be picked up will be at the lowest level of the stacker. And then have an empty stacker or two so cars dropped off can just be put on, lifted up, and stored out of the way in the order they came in. They will need to be shuffled around afterwards again for ease of pick up. I suggest having job applicants play that puzzle game where you have 15 squares to slide around you have to get in order in a 4x4 grid. That will be the logic involved in sorting the cars on a daily basis.

Awesome looking project. I recognize many of the construction details in your building that were also used in the foundation of my home's rebuild after the Loma Prieta Earthquake, many years ago now. It is amazing how buildings are designed here in California, to withstand earthquakes. Mine was also designed to withstand multiple 8.0 level earthquakes.

What the hell is the break even on this thing? 20 years? 60 years? Never?

Yeah, I don't see how this makes economic sense for them and the customers.

KZreadr AutotopiaLA charges $500 per month per car to park in an enclosed building. I would estimate $500-600-700 per car per month? Someone do the math.

REALLY happy for you Matt......There's nothing bad about seeing a good guy doing good things! All the luck for you and your wife. Yours Chris.

I love how much you're able to appreciate the construction details, this is exactly the kind of shit I'm interested in too. Can't wait to see it go into business, it'll be mindblowing.

I hope you share some high level economics of this venture on one of these video parts.

Can't wait for the other videos. Suoer cool. Like videos like this. Thanks Matt.

Imagine a non-columned basement carrying a four story car park above it!! I’m equally stoked by the concrete work Matt! I’ve seen all your videos of this project and think I’ll come visit this site when I finally take our family to do L.A. and our long wanted Californian road trip. Fantastic work Matt!! Love to witness your enthusiasm and see other skilled ppl do work I have no clue how to do. Microsurgery is overrated... This is the shit!

TheSmokingTire not physically, but can be mentally challenging.. Love your work and videos. Maybe I’ll pop in someday. Just in from testing of 2019 Model S P100D+. Not my cup of tea..

WOW, I can't wait for Part 2. Can't wait for the opening day. "Coolest Parking Facility' indeed.

I wish I was rich enough to worry about what luxury garage to store my 4th and 5th cars in.

In all honesty, I've seen you post photos of the build progress on Instagram and I had no real idea what was going on. Seeing this video, this is really cool. A parking space for nice cars designed by someone into cars. Putting low clearance into consideration was a great idea. Stoked to see the next video.

This is what happens when a car guy build's a parking structure you get a nuclear bomb proof fortress. Plus I to see the passion you have for this project and how your learning every lil detail I can't wait to see the end result it's going to be great. Congratulations it looks awesome

@ChrisHallett83 and? It's not like he doesn't work for his own money XD

This was rad. Excited to see the finished product

I so can't wait until we can see the final product. Congrats Matt & Crew on being able to realize this dream.

I wish I could be a sales rep on this project! This motivates me !!!!

Love these updates! You can't give us too much information about the exciting project! Some people won't care at all, but those of us who are interested in any details will want all the details!

The spruce goose building turned sound stage has been used in so many music videos.
