Suite RIDE

Think of it, owner Jim Buonavolonta says, as a country club for cars.

“If you look at the way garages are permitted, they’re typically permitted as storage,” says in Naples this month. “The purpose of these facilities is to store boats, RVs, and cars.

They’re not residential so you can’t sleep over, but what you can do is create a personalized space to enjoy with your family and friends.”
