I believe it's all automated...the building delivers the car to the ground level, then parks the car upon its return [nt]

Singapore Supercar Vending Machine
Perhaps already discussed here, but Singapore hosts a 15-story building supercar "vending machine" housing up to 60 cars. Not sure if these first photos of the building from the outside represent the actual cars, or are photoshopped (they look rather matc...
My thought as well
I worked on designing the parts catalogs and service labor time books for the very first Smart cars, and we got tours of the prototype car towers, as well as a couple cars. That was about 20 years ago, I think. Cazalea

I remember that condo. Not sure I like that concept. Even having an artistic car, that's still a little unusual. Even as a car person, I'm not sure I'd want a dirty car there. But I do like the concept that I can get my groceries out of my boot easily. If...
Well it's a fancy place
One unit is easily 8-9 million. Those that stay on there probably don't have to worry about getting their cars or house dirty. Cheers PAt
