Porsche Design Concours plans to bring collector car storage into club territory, giving owners a place to keep vehicles in a setting built for lingering, not just locking up. The concept pairs privately owned studios with a members-only social hub, and the spaces are sold through deeded ownership instead of a lease. The first two sites are planned to open in West Palm Beach and Dallas in 2028, with Gensler involved in the design, and membership does not require owning a Porsche.
Each location is set to include 22 studios, which keeps the setup more curated than a sprawling warehouse. Inside, a mezzanine lets owners turn the space into somewhere to spend time, not just somewhere to stash a vehicle.
For buyers, this turns collector storage into a property purchase rather than a monthly parking arrangement. It also makes garage visits feel more like a lifestyle ritual than an errand.
