Porsche Design Tower complete with car elevators
A Miami Beach condo developer plans to build a new skyscraper with a robotic parking deck built in.
The Porsche Design Tower project will allow owners to ride their vehicles into a robotic elevator system that drops them and their vehicles at their doorstep.
The $560 million tower will rise in Sunny Isles Beach as part of a collaboration between Porsche Design Group and a local developer, Gil Dezer.
“After the resident pulls over and switches off the engine, a robotic arm that works much like an automatic plank will scoop up the car and put it into the elevator.”
“Once at the desired floor, the same robotic arm will park the car, leaving the resident nearly in front of his front door.”
The condo will have 132 units over 57 stories, with larger units sporting up to four parking spaces per unit.
