QUOTE(URY914 @ May 23 2006, 09:04 AM)  So if this is Jerry's garage it looks like a multi story garage with a each vehicle having it's own bay on each floor. Perhaps 2 bays per floor. I could be reading the pics wrong. Pretty slick setup regardless. Mike D. |

dunno... maybe if you have an elevator fettish (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)
I'd rather have my complete car collection on one floor so I could see all the cars sitting next to each other this way the effect of the collection is kinda gone then again, I don't have a car collection so I don't have to worry about this problem either (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) |

I guess he lives close to it so he can walk over and have lunch with his cars.
I'd like an old converted warehouse big enough that I could drive the cars in it in the winter so I wouldn't get the tires dirty. I was going to post this on Pelican but one of those a-holes would pipe up and brag about being Jerry's buddy and going over all the time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) |

What suprises me, and would anyone who knows the NYC real estate market, is how CHEAP he did this whole thing.
$880K to buy the building, and $500K to renovate it. Now, $1.4M may not be "cheap" to most people, but that price will just barely buy you a decent 2-bedroom apt in Manhatten (with no garage) totalling maybe 1500 sq ft. Jerry's garage building (including the office space) is 2500sq ft. An 830 sq ft apt with two floors of garage space below it SHOULD cost way more than $1.4M in Manhatten. I suppose commercial space is a LOT cheaper than residential space there. |

The key is probably that the building is zoned commercial and couldn't be rezoned for residenial space for some reason. It's only wide enough for a garage door anyway. |
