Yet in the end of 2011 Germany's Porsche design Group and a local developer Dezer Properties planned to build Porsche Tower in Miami with "Sky Garages". Now in April 19 construction work is starting on the Porsche Design Tower Miami, a luxury residential high-rise with a notable features for car enthusiasts including an auto elevator and "sky garages" attached to its apartments. The 60-story tower has 132 residences and more than 50% of them are under contract, representing more than US$ 400 million in sales. The building's residences range in size from 390 to 1600 square meters and cost from US$ 4.5 million to US$ 25 million. The building will have a 33 month construction window and is scheduled for occupancy in the first quarter of 2016. While the building has numerous amenities the one getting the most attention is an automobile lift system that allows owners to park their cars next to their units regardless of the floor. The system is a departure from the usual underground parking garages founds at many large residential buildings. The tower will also include a plunge pool, outdoor summer kitchens on the balconies, a spa on a sunset terrace, spa tubs, oceanfront ballroom, multipurpose clubrooms and a "Car Concierge" who looks after the resident's cars by coordinating washing, detailing, tire rotations and other maintenance services. This mechanism isn't new. In October 2012 in Singapore opened the new 30-storey Hamilton Scotts building in the ritzy Orchard Road area, which has an elevator for cars, which will deliver the vehicles to the "en suite sky garages", glass cases for cars next to the living room. The owner must drive the car into a garage and on to a turnstile, and then hop out and scan a fingerprint on a biometric scanner, which will use a computer system to send the car to the correct apartment. In 2010 movie star Nicole Kidman and her husband Keith Urban purchased luxurious apartment on the 12th floor in one of Manhattan's skyscrapers. This apartment also has a 32.5 square meter garage in the sky. A special car elevator lift the car to the owner's floor and then you can enter garage with entrance to the kitchen.

Forget parking in the basement - a new high-rise apartment complex in Singapore is offering car parking inside your apartment, no matter which level you are on.

The owner must drive the car into a garage and on to a turnstile, and then hop out and scan a fingerprint on a biometric scanner, which will use a computer system to send the car to the correct apartment. The downside is the price. The cheapest apartments in the complex cost about US$ 7.5 million and come with two parking spots. The US$ 24 million penthouse residences have four parking spaces. KOP Properties in Singapore is behind the development, and chief executive Leny Suparman said the homes would appeal to a very well-off and particular type of buyer. "These buyers are very discerning. They've seen a lot, so they're very exposed in the world, so they are looking for something that's unique and different. He also said the parking space wasn't just a garage. "It's done in such a way that it's a museum showcase; it's not just a car park." Last year Germany's Porsche design Group and a local developer Dezer Properties announced about their plan to build Porsche Tower in Miami. According to developers it will be the world's first condominium complex with elevators that will take residents directly to their units while they are sitting in their cars. But they were late, as groundbreaking is planned for the 2nd quarter of 2013 and the completion is expected in mid-2016.
