mike88g1 one thing I can already see is that they’re gonna have to do a lot of car shuffling. They should have gotten those stackers that rotate the cars in a circle so you don’t have to take any out to get to the one you want
Nope, LA's lifestyle is big-ass swanky cars, hollywood life, he will be running out of space in no time. There's no business model which is 100% full proof unless you own giant properties like me and give them to medical hospitals to run :)
As someone in a wheelchair, I'm very grateful they have codes like these. I cant explain how big of a pain it is to deal with busted ass ,"grandfathered in" sidewalks. Seems silly, but it does really mean a lot. Also the angle for getting the cars in without scraping is awesome. Wish that was also a code all cities had to follow. But nope. Everyone just drives SUVs and trucks instead.
But they're forcing property owners to do it themselves when most of their own sidewalks are not to code. What's the point of even using the same sidewalk if the wheelchair turns into the street 70% of the time? Just hypocritical regulations.
@@MrCarGuy Because it is too expensive to do all at once wholesale. So as new buildings are put in and streets/sidewalks are redone, they fix them as they can. Eventually everything will hopefully be done, but by then I'm sure there will be new codes. =/
Tim Mayville except “they” does not refer to the city. “They” are actually the business owners trying to generate more tax money for the city that is trying to straight bend them over and fuck them twice.
@@RecBuddha That's the thing. The sidewalks will never be done this way. The city won't pay for it while they wait on property modifications to be done. So you're stuck with a rally course for the handicapped.
surfinburdlax generally we start in estimating positions or project engineer positions rise up most going on to project manger/general contractor positions. And you can get into almost any field you want. Starts at about 60k where I’m at and you could get to double that later on in your career
Glad to hear you have locks on the lifts. My M3 got crushed in a parking garage in Park Slope in Brooklyn. The garage tried to claim I drove the car in with damage, even though they dropped the lift onto the roof in front of me! It took weeks to get fixed, and that was a monthly rental. Nightmare.
What garage was this? I keep my M Coupe at a garage in Williamsburg, and I'm constantly nervous about something happening. It is quite literally the cheapest rate I could find (I can't afford $350+ /month for parking) but also, interestingly enough, an ultramodern garage with lifts similar to what Matt has above - that has me constantly wondering: what's the catch???
Fantastic place! Wish this existed in my city. It will undoubtedly be expensive... assuming Matt wants to recoup his investment. Let’s do a bit of math: 20? Spaces and the cost to build was ~$2? Mm? At $200/month/spot, it will take 42(!!) years to break-even. And that’s just on the build cost alone! Then add staffing, upkeep, repairs, maintenance, utilities, and you’re looking at more like never to break-even.
@@supermotos dont they have some sort of dollys and spacers they put under the wheels to move em around the shop without actually having to turn on the cars? turning em on and driving them around would be a pain in the ass.
Lol, you build a collector's garage in the heart of LA then you peen! I know it's easy to nitpick when you don't have a couple mil to be creative and business minded with. Not tryin' to be a dick here, but come the fuck on. Matt's doing something special here. Hit him up and offer your services to change the holes if it's really such a massive bummer to you.
That definitely isn't a good look for ceiling in reception area... Somebody delivers you a $1.5 mil Porsche 918 and walk into the first room to see a, clearly, unfinished area.
yeah, I was gonna drop off my 2005 Hyundai Tiburon here, but after watching this video and seeing the reception, I've had a change of heart, gonna take it to someone in Beverly Hills. much classier.
Disagree, exposed ceilings showing all the duct work are very stylish. Also keep in mind, these are bigtime car guys bringing their shit here. Typically those kind of dudes like seeing the mechanical or otherwise infrastructural backbone of things. Makes the room feel bigger too, drop tiles are suffocating.
I'm guessing there won't be too many customers hanging out and mingling in the reception area and cigar lounge. I basically see a guy having his collector car dropped off here and then maybe coming back once a year or so to take it out.
@@thomas_2285 Those areas are for detail customers. You gotta go somewhere while the detailing is being done. By providing a lounge area, it just increases the attractiveness of the business.
@@wulfstein1 maybe, but they attack the businesses who bring in revenue. Not the residents. Seems more like just a way to keep bureaucrats pockets lined
The building is very well engineered. It must have cost a fortune to architect, plan, permit and build. His storage rates are somewhat competitive, maybe averaging a little over $1,000 - $1,200 per car or around $1.9M a year for just car storage. The property tax will be significant, but staffing costs should be low. The rest is whatever utilities and maintenance. I’d say the value is pretty good for a car collector, but maybe a little slower return for Farah and co. It is hard to find proper car storage in LA. Few homes have anything more than 2 secured and covered spots, and the cost to build anything bigger for the average supercar homeowner is prohibitive. I had to spec in a car lift in my home build for this reason. LA should be a good market, since you can have a $5M home with only a 2-car garage, and no place for a rich man to store his expensive toys. I would NOT want to be the car at the bottom of those lifts, though. Just can’t imagine how many times it needs to get moved for the guys above it. Maybe a good setup if you can lease an entire stack, but still seems cumbersome.
This man is living the dream! I just love how he knows what's best for the customers cars. If I was on that level I would definitely store my cars there
I've been watching you for a long time, garage 419 dayz. And it's nice to see you have a sense of humor about the codes and construction. Most TH-camrs would make some click bait thumbnail and complain like a c*my about laws. You sir are the real deal 👌
Might be a silly question, but what is the benefit of using stackers (besides them looking awesome) versus building a more traditional multi-level parking structure? It seems like a normal structure would provide more parking spaces.
Lucky enough to have seen it in person. It without doubt is THE coolest collector car facility out there & that is down to your meticulous attention to detail. Wishing you all the best.
Wow Matt! I have been watching you since that video you showed a clip of when you were taking your C5 out of the garage over your awesome ramps lol. Man, you should be proud of what you’ve accomplished. I am very happy for you brother 👍
1:59 I see what you did there Matt. The first letter of your last name is subtly integrated on the facade of your facility. Congratulation on this amazing project!
Not gonn lie I thought this guy was full of himself when he first came on the scene years back, but holy shit he is doing big things!!! Big kudos to you Mr. Farrah
I'm so happy for this guy.... If you have followed him and Larry as long as I have, you could appreciate how deserving those two guys are for their success! They have proven that if you work your tail off you can have success! Congratulations, Matt!
Some things take a long time to get ready, others take just a few days. For how long this project took to build, the things that are missing are just peanuts.
"Come adjust your ISO, my friends." Dude, now you're speaking my language. Can't wait to see the results and what sort of cars the place gets filled with.
they're also bleeding money out the ass (despite the taxes being outrageous), the homeless problem is out of control, and they're releasing prisoners because of COVID while simultaneously arresting people for breaking quarantine even though they're still maintaining social distancing plus Joe Rogan has been talking about getting tf out of Cali and moving to Texas, along with Elon Musk
Wishing you all the best because you deserve it, creating this fantastic dream automobile storage facility. Stay safe and healthy to enjoy the fruits of your labor.
As I'm sure a mean-spirited commenter would love to tell you, I have family money that I used on this project. And as hard as it was, it would have likely been much harder if I had a bunch of investors or a bank breathing down my neck. But honestly, and I really mean this, the funding would not have been very hard. From the very beginning, I showed my plans and basic drawings to a few people, trying to get them to be customers, and they offered me millions of dollars to invest. I have a list like 30 people long for "when you build the next one call me." If you have a great idea, and you do a bunch of legwork up front to put together a good presentation, and if you're in the right circle of people, you can get the money with a great idea, thoroughly vetted out. I am incredibly privileged in my life in literally countless ways. I'd like to think that I want to use my privilege for something good, or at least something benign, and not like, world domination. My aspirations are fairly modest: a couple buildings around my home city that offer a good service to the car enthusiast community.
@@TheSmokingTire Thank you for your caring and insightful replay, i've been a fan of the content you put up on youtube for a few years and i'll work hard in the hopes of one day becoming an entrepreneur like yourself.
Something tells me that having a 3000 gal per minute fire supression system in a building with a cigar lounge and potentially millions of dollars worth of cars could possibly be a nightmare waiting to happen.
The wall in between the lounge and the warehouse is 2-hours fire rated, and the sprinklers are independent. A fire on one side would have to be very, very bad to affect the other side. The city's concern is coming from the warehouse side, not the lounge side.
If there's a fire under one sprinkler only that sprinkler will go off, it doesn't trigger the rest to activate or anything, so at least it extinguishes whatever is right there even if it is worth a lot.
Amazing! Especially like how much effort you’ve put into that driveway, mega important but often overlooked. Even performance car shops I go to never seem think about access in low, wide cars. As an electrician, got to say that conduit work is sexy AF. Well done, bet this was a hell of a job.
When you described the studio overlooking the cars on the podcast I was picturing glass walls. Of course, acoustically that would suck, so I understand why it's not and thank you for not sacrificing audio quality. Place looks incredible.
The worst part, is that when that out-of-code sidewalk next door gets brought to code... there's going to be a nice little speedbump between the two properties!
Congratulations Matt. Ive been following the build progress and videos and gotta say that WCCS has come out beautifully. Looking forward to seeing the final video and videos of cars if your able to show them and seeing the facility operating and functioning. 👍👍👍👍👍
Yeah, I’m pretty sure that is B.S. Earthquakes are measure on a logarithmic scale. Because of the logarithmic basis of the scale, each whole number increase in magnitude represents a tenfold increase in measured amplitude; as an estimate of energy, each whole number step in the magnitude scale corresponds to the release of about 31 times more energy than the amount associated with the preceding whole number value.
It's nice to know that while the Earth will swallow me whole and bring about my death in a 11.9 earthquake, if I had an exotic car there, it'll remain safe and unscathed.
As soon as I heard that I scrolled to see if someone picked that up. It’s log scale don’t think anyone sane engineer will sign and say it’s rated for a 12 earthquake.
Always fun to hear non-construction people explain what they had to deal with and their stories. BTW, the red thing is called the Fire Water Standpipe.
This place is looking awesome Matt. Everything except for the exposed ceilings in that first floor entrance area. Kinda ewwww. I'm guessing you're going to have a fair amount of wealthy men who will remark about it's unfinished looking status.
I guarantee not a single wealthy man will give a shit about how my ceiling is styled. So far, 70% of the people who have deposited with me don't even live in LA.
TheSmokingTire ; Your right Matt. It’s the wealthy women who will immediately notice and then give you more unsolicited advice on how to fix it than you ever dreamed of.
@@TheSmokingTire it's chic as fuck Matt don't worry! tho I think it would be cool if you painted the time hangers in that area black or gray or even blue...
Yea the back lighting on those columns in the basement are stunning. Go all out and put addressable RGB's in there with some motion sensors so they change as you drive in/out.
You realize he has investors in this project, right? I'm sure he's got his own money tied up in it, but this type of business isn't something you just bankroll out of pocket.
Hi Mat i was like wow I’m going thru the plywood and 2x4 situation right now with 1inch lowered viper with already low car, so I can’t wait to buy my next property with more garage and proper space for my toys. Things are looking great 👍 looks like you are weeks from opening, congratulations I’m sure it will be one of the happiest day of your life when it opens👌
Thank you for the informational and impactful assessment of everyone who lives inside an entire city. I am sure future watchers will take this into account when deciding on their California residency.
As an electrician I’m doing the load calculations and those 20hp hydraulic pumps will use next to nothing compared to the battery tenders that you’re going to have running. Also even with all those tenders running and the lights going you should be able to run 2 of those hydraulic lifts at the same time, just don’t start them at the same time. You might hear big clunk from your main breaker. Also the roll up fire doors have a heat link of an amalgam that melts at 140 degrees. Once the link melts the spring release is released and down goes papí.
You know you're a car guy when you spend 10 times longer showcasing the driveway than the blue marble counter-tops..
haha those are off the rack!
So true ! 😂
Yeah that drive way is a wet dream!
I bet so many car guys know the feeling of trying to drive across a steep ass driveway. I appreciate details like this.

Lol kinda funny how he’s more into the engineering behind this place than the actual business!!
More infectious than the Rona

looks like garbage tbh
Commenter2 He probably got ripped off at every turn but he doesn’t care. He didn’t work for that money so he has no concept of what it’s worth.
So how do you get a car off the top tray? Do the bottom 3 have to come out and get moved each time?
yes, that's why cars that live on the top trays will be cars that are in for very long term storage and won't have to go out very often.
@@TheSmokingTire Awesome I cant wait to see this place up and running man you've done a stellar job so far! Be well man!
The worst part, is that when that out-of-code sidewalk next door gets brought to code... there's going to be a nice little speedbump between the two properties!
Congratulations Matt. Ive been following the build progress and videos and gotta say that WCCS has come out beautifully. Looking forward to seeing the final video and videos of cars if your able to show them and seeing the facility operating and functioning. 👍👍👍👍👍
Shame we won't be able to see the cars in storage.
Why not?
@@PepeDeezNutz For the privacy of his customers.
Best of luck with the facility!!! It looks awesome. Well done presenting it as well.
That wall next to the sidewalk is totally uneven! Who did you hire to do this work? Those who are visually challenged?
It’s code in LA that you have to used retarded people for all masonry work.
That conduit work is ridiculously nicely done. Your electrical contractor is money!!
there's already a part 3...
Wow great Job Matt you seem real excited as you should be 👏👏👏
"This building is rated for a 12.0 earthquake." REALLY??? The strongest recorded earthquake in history was a 9.5 lol
Yeah, I’m pretty sure that is B.S. Earthquakes are measure on a logarithmic scale. Because of the logarithmic basis of the scale, each whole number increase in magnitude represents a tenfold increase in measured amplitude; as an estimate of energy, each whole number step in the magnitude scale corresponds to the release of about 31 times more energy than the amount associated with the preceding whole number value.
It's nice to know that while the Earth will swallow me whole and bring about my death in a 11.9 earthquake, if I had an exotic car there, it'll remain safe and unscathed.
As soon as I heard that I scrolled to see if someone picked that up. It’s log scale don’t think anyone sane engineer will sign and say it’s rated for a 12 earthquake.
I often make up figures for my Honda so I see where he’s coming from
yeah but what if 11 comes? I mean just look at 2020 so far
So happy for you Matt! If I still lived in LA, id be calling you to store a car there. Badass building, you really thought of everything!
this guy is joe Rogan for car
Congrats man. I wish you continued success on your future endeavors. It's a beautiful building. You should be very proud.
BUT I WANT IT NOW
Call J G Wentworth
Always fun to hear non-construction people explain what they had to deal with and their stories. BTW, the red thing is called the Fire Water Standpipe.
This place is looking awesome Matt. Everything except for the exposed ceilings in that first floor entrance area. Kinda ewwww. I'm guessing you're going to have a fair amount of wealthy men who will remark about it's unfinished looking status.
I guarantee not a single wealthy man will give a shit about how my ceiling is styled. So far, 70% of the people who have deposited with me don't even live in LA.
TheSmokingTire ; Your right Matt. It’s the wealthy women who will immediately notice and then give you more unsolicited advice on how to fix it than you ever dreamed of.
@@TheSmokingTire it's chic as fuck Matt don't worry! tho I think it would be cool if you painted the time hangers in that area black or gray or even blue...
Happy for you that it's on the final stretch, also that conduit routing is incredibly satisfying
2:24 lol never seen matt's leg tattoos before
Glad to see you moving up in the world.
Stay humble
Stay pure.
Were the bricklayers stoned when they built that blockwork Wall out front ?
Can I get a top spot on the lift for my Hyundai Velo N?
The only dislikes are people from the city with their precious “codes”
Congrats Matt, the facility is looking amazing!
This is a prime example of why I would never move to California...
Stellar work Matt! Can’t wait to see it completed.
This TH-cam premiere s**t is the equivalent of booking a table at McDonald's.
Yea the back lighting on those columns in the basement are stunning. Go all out and put addressable RGB's in there with some motion sensors so they change as you drive in/out.
With your parents money? Jk wish I could build something like that with lots of passive income.
You realize he has investors in this project, right?
I'm sure he's got his own money tied up in it, but this type of business isn't something you just bankroll out of pocket.
Jealous. Lol.
Hi Mat i was like wow I’m going thru the plywood and 2x4 situation right now with 1inch lowered viper with already low car, so I can’t wait to buy my next property with more garage and proper space for my toys.
Things are looking great 👍 looks like you are weeks from opening, congratulations I’m sure it will be one of the happiest day of your life when it opens👌
the only people that are going to be able to live in LA or people that have severe mental health issues
Thank you for the informational and impactful assessment of everyone who lives inside an entire city. I am sure future watchers will take this into account when deciding on their California residency.
As an electrician I’m doing the load calculations and those 20hp hydraulic pumps will use next to nothing compared to the battery tenders that you’re going to have running. Also even with all those tenders running and the lights going you should be able to run 2 of those hydraulic lifts at the same time, just don’t start them at the same time. You might hear big clunk from your main breaker. Also the roll up fire doors have a heat link of an amalgam that melts at 140 degrees. Once the link melts the spring release is released and down goes papí.
