Call it part garage, part man cave, or as real estate marketer Ronnie DeChambeau describes it, \u201ca high-octane hideaway.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Whatever the label, Estero Motorplex is being pitched as a luxury condominium storage facility for cars, buses, boats and motor homes \u2014 \u201cbasically anything with a tachometer that\u2019s fun,\u201d said DeChambeau, a Realtor with Serhant, a New York-based real estate brokerage with offices in several Florida cities.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Construction is scheduled to begin in December or January, depending on final permit approvals, said Ronald Hink of Troika Management, an East Coast company relocating to Naples.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hink is co-developing the project with James Gillis, who owns the property on Estero Parkway just west of Three Oaks Parkway. Gillis, a car enthusiast and Shelby Mustang collector, approached Hink after learning he had worked on similar projects and believed the concept was a good fit for the 5-acre site.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe took a look at it, and indeed it was, and we went ahead and put together the plan,\u201d Hink said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The project calls for two buildings with 40 units total. Buyers can choose from five floor plans ranging from 1,350 to 2,750 square feet. Prices will run from $600,000 to $1.2 million.\u00a0<\/p>\n
While similar storage condominiums exist between Fort Myers and Marco Island, Hink said Estero Motorplex will stand out. The units will be larger than those at many other sites, with the smallest measuring 25 feet by 40 feet and the largest 25 feet by 85 feet. The largest units also will include doors at both ends.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The motorplex will offer more features, too. All units will include a mezzanine, a decorator-ready bathroom and washer and dryer hookups, DeChambeau said. The site\u2019s layout is designed to make maneuvering large vehicles easier, and, unlike some facilities, both buildings will have street frontage.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A sample interior shows how owners can tailor their units for high-end vehicle storage, from sports cars to motor coaches. Developers say many buyers turn mezzanines into lounges, game rooms or entertainment areas.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is going to be in very plain view, and we believe the curb appeal will be quite attractive,\u201d Hink said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The developers said the units can become more than storage \u2014 they often become social spaces.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hink developed a similar motorplex in Fort Lauderdale, where owners turned their mezzanines into game rooms, TV lounges with stereo systems, full kitchens and living areas.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThey become like fraternity houses almost,\u201d he said. \u201cOne right next to each other and it becomes a community within itself.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Last year, about half of the owners at that site and their families hosted a New Year\u2019s party with a band in the parking lot, outdoor dining and fire pits, Hink said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a real fun evening. That\u2019s just the typical event that could take place,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Call it part garage, part man cave, or as real estate marketer Ronnie DeChambeau describes it, \u201ca high-octane…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":61905,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[209,211,210,1127,37351,37352,480,37353],"class_list":["post-61904","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cape-coral","tag-cape-coral","tag-cape-coral-headlines","tag-cape-coral-news","tag-construction","tag-estero-motorplex","tag-luxury-storage","tag-real-estate","tag-social-space"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61904","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=61904"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61904\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/61905"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=61904"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=61904"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=61904"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
