StoneGate Plaza is a project in southern Johnson County, KS that is affiliated with this project in MN. They have the first building up and more underway. LOTS of pre-sales. Looks like a winner! http://stonegatemotorplaza.com/

Young guy
So I may have kind of changed my birthday just so I could comment on this thread.... I'm a really young guy but I have a question. Had you cut a few corners while maintaining the high quality vibe of the space how low do you think you could've gotten the price? I've seen both your Ferraris but I'm talking some serious cost cutting.

Mezzanine Ceiling Height
I am curious what your finish ceiling height is under the mezzanine?
My wife and I had been considering moving to a 3-5 acre piece of property that would be big enough for a house as well as an out-building (workshop/mancave).
We’ve decided to stay in our current home, but with my minor addiction to cars/toys, we’ve maxed out the 4 car capacity of our current garage and I don’t have any room for my project Cobra build.
Solution (excuse to buy) = garage condo.
Part storage, part workspace, part place to escape.
Location is the Auto Motorplex facility (40 acres) outside of Minneapolis. The host facility for the Minneapolis Cars & Coffee and Cycles & Coffee events.
There are currently 7 out of 11 buildings complete, with approximately 175 garage condo units and a 4000 square foot clubhouse with a bar/big screen tv’s/kitchen for ‘owner’ gatherings, events and such.
The unit we’re building-out is 1600 square feet (40x40) with a 16’x40’ mezzanine. Ceiling height is 18’. The upstairs will have a kitchen, ¾ bath, living room type area (flat screen/wi-fi), office and deck for cigar smoking. The bottom level will be a full workshop with a couple of lifts, storage room, 220V power, in-floor heat, wash bay/drains, another flat screen, and a lot of room for cabinets/tools.
I thought some of you might find the build-out process interesting.
Here’s the rough plan, some initial pics of the full-length (80') shell, and a few after the mid-wall was installed of the mezzanine i-beam and mezzanine decking going in (today).
I’ll add to this as the build continues.
See ya.

This was one of my favorite build threads. I'm curious as to the status of all of the cars. Still have the Yenko clone?
