Central Florida automotive collectors frustrated by strict neighborhood HOAs and tight suburban garages will soon have a dedicated space built for their passion. Collection 674, a 34-unit gated luxury car condominium development planned in Oviedo, is bringing the region its first tailor-made commercial facility where owners can store, customize and showcase high-value vehicles.
Similar facilities operate in neighboring markets like Leesburg, Auburndale, Tampa and further out, but none here.
“We saw these projects popping up when we were traveling in Naples, Sarasota, and Jacksonville, and there was nothing in Central Florida,” said Lindsay Winter Bellinkoff, co-founder of Collection 674. “We know a lot of car enthusiasts here, and we know people living in Orlando who store their cars in Jacksonville simply because there wasn’t a private car condominium development over here.”
The business name is derived from the limited release 674-horsepower Talos XXT, emphasizing craftsmanship.
Located on Aloma Avenue (State Road 426), one mile east of State Road 417, the development will give collectors, hobbyists and investors a secure, climate-controlled venue to design private showrooms, personal workshops and entertainment spaces outside the reach of residential property rules.
“They can customize it how they want it,” said Co-founder Ira Bellinkoff. “Do they want to put in a restroom? A mezzanine? What other bells and whistles do they want?”
The Bellinkoffs said the number of cars to fit in each unit depends on which floor plan they choose, and how they customize the space. For example, said Ira Bellinkoff, the smallest unit can hold up to four vehicles if lifts are used.
An interior perspective of the 709-square-foot Reserve unit illustrates how lifts maximize vehicle storage.
The base layouts include 10 small units called The Reserve (709 square feet), 17 medium units (949 square feet), and seven large Pinnacle units (1,227 square feet) with space for a mezzanine lounge. Combining two units creates The Passage, a 1,658-square-foot pull-through option.
Each unit features 21-foot clear ceilings designed to accommodate vertical car lifts and mezzanines, as well as a 14-foot automated roll-up garage door, reinforced concrete flooring, a 200-amp electrical panel, fire sprinklers, air conditioning, high-speed internet and stubbed plumbing connections for optional private restrooms.
Site plans for the 3-acre parcel show two main condo buildings arranged around wide drive aisles designed for vehicle maneuvering and trailering. The project will feature 24/7 monitored perimeter security, dedicated guest parking and a vehicle detail and wash bay.
Located near the entrance, a 1,300-square-foot owners clubhouse will serve as a shared social hub. The facility will feature an entertainment space, racing simulators and a game parlor where owners can gather to host social events or watch major motorsport races.

Groundbreaking is scheduled for October, with an eight-month construction schedule aiming for completion in 2027. Site approvals are nearing completion, with water management and Florida Department of Transportation driveway permits already secured. The developers are completing final site plan reviews with Seminole County along with a minor FDOT stormwater update.
The Bellinkoffs purchased the 3-acre parcel in mid-January for $2.1 million from a listing held by Jill Rose of Atrium. The project is being developed with three local businesses: general contractor RBmarks Construction, architect Rapid Design and civil engineering firm Tannath Design, Inc.
Units range from the low $300,000s to the upper $400,000s, with initial pre-sales securing two reservations in the first week. Ira Bellinkoff, who brings more than two decades of commercial real estate valuation experience as an MAI and CCIM designated appraiser, benchmarked unit pricing against similar non-track garage condo projects throughout Florida.
The concept grew out of his work in the recreational storage market starting in 2018. While the couple continues to own and manage boat and RV storage facilities in Coleman and Cocoa, rising land prices driven by competition from the industrial outdoor storage sector prompted the team to explore deeded car condos as a new growth venue.
The couple declined to share total development costs or financing details, but said they are seeking additional parcels across Central Florida to expand the concept.
