Anyone with a passion for fast cars and pedal-to-the-metal driving will know all about The Motor Enclave in Tampa.
Since its opening in January 2024, this 200-acre motorsport nirvana just 15 minutes east of downtown, has fast become a playground for sportscar lovers attracted by its snaking 1.72-mile, Formula 1-style track, 100-acre off-road course, and two-acre vehicle dynamics/autocross pad.
What also sets this world-class development apart are the 300 private garage condos ringing the circuit making The Motor Enclave the largest private garage community in the world.
As you’d expect, all the 300 were quickly snapped-up and are in the process of being transformed into everything from a place to display private collections, motorsport-inspired offices, race workshops, or stylish personal retreats. Rarely do units come-up on the re-sale market.
Yet, in a unique opportunity, one of the best-of-the-best has become available; a rare balcony unit at 6500 Motor Enclave Way, #1004. What sets it apart is that it’s one of only six of the 300 that offers jaw-dropping views of almost the entire circuit.
“The aerial imagery tells the story. The unit sits in one of the most enviable positions on the property, with sweeping sight-lines capturing all the energy from the track,” explains Jason Teabout, realtor with the Mastry/Teabout Group, part of Smith & Associates, who holds the listing.
What the $979,000 asking price buys is a blank-canvas 1,435 square-foot space, with soaring 25-foot ceilings high enough to add a mezzanine floor living area. Owners of similar units have used the mezzanine to create fabulous social areas with kitchens, dining areas, sofas and big-screen TVs, cigar bars and displays for car memorabilia.
All that, together with an expansive ground-level space to showcase car or motorcycle collections, or store and work on race cars. Unit 1004 has space for six to eight vehicles, or more using car lifts to stack one above another.
“This isn’t just another car condo,” explains Teabout. “The position and the private upper balcony offers a premium front-row view of all the action below. Track sessions, early-morning warm-ups, social gatherings like The Motor Enclave’s Cars En Coffees – there’s always something happening.”
But it’s The Motor Enclave’s amenities that truly set it apart. Created by Michigan developer Brad Oleshansky, also behind the similar M1 Concourse in Pontiac, Michigan, its highlight is that 1.72-mile track designed by legendary Formula 1 track designer Hermann Tilke. It features 10 challenging corners, an endless hairpin and a long strait for high-speed thrills.
For those times when you’re not hammering your Porsche 911 GT3 around the track, you can head-out in your ATV 4-wheeler, dirt bike or 4×4 kicking-up dust around the 100-acre off-road area with its miles of purpose-built trails.
Want to try-out your racer’s new suspension setting, break-in that new set of Pirellis, or perfect your drifting skills? There’s that two-acre asphalt skid pad close by.
Away from the track, The Motor Enclave boasts a 42,000 square-foot, two-story Event Center that can accommodate everything from a 12-person board meeting to a seated function for 1,200 with gourmet catering by Tampa’s Puff ‘n Stuff.
The center also features a driver’s lounge and conference rooms, a car display area to check-out member’s prized rides, and a line-up of the latest driving simulators. And for fun with the family, there’s the Enclave Beach Club with a pool and resort-style amenities.
The Motor Enclave also offers huge security and peace-of-mind. Garages feature hurricane-rated concrete construction with six-inch thick concrete floors, reinforced overhead garage doors, and the option of back-up generators for power during storms. Gated 24-hour security as well.
For owners of pricey supercars or treasured collector cars, here is a true safe haven when the weather turns ugly.
And all this a short drive from downtown, close to the intersection of I-4 and I-75 and a stone’s throw from Tampa Executive Airport.
“Here is a chance to secure a truly premium position inside Tampa’s most exciting automotive community – a place built for people who see cars not just as machines, but as a lifestyle,” says Teabout.
