Valley Luxury Garage Suites: Motor Vault Houses More Than Exotic Cars
Each January, car enthusiasts across the Valley gather to celebrate automotive passion. For real estate developer Vern Haugen, that excitement is year‑round thanks to his newest venture: Motor Vault—Arizona’s premier luxury garage ownership community.
From Developer to Garage Visionary
With nearly three decades in real estate development and luxury custom home construction, Haugen has completed more than $300 million in projects across Arizona, North Dakota, and Utah. A lifelong auto enthusiast, he merged expertise and passion to create Motor Vault, bringing deeded luxury garage suites to owners who want secure, private, climate‑controlled storage with lifestyle perks.
Locations and Unit Sizes
- Fountain Hills: 30 suites ranging from 1,070–2,208 sq. ft.
- Deer Valley: 80 suites ranging from 540–1,500 sq. ft., including double‑wide and double‑long pull‑through options.
- Next Up: A North Scottsdale location is under consideration.
The concept grew from Haugen’s own need to organize and protect a 22‑vehicle collection after downsizing his home.
Customizable Suites Built for Cars, RVs, and More
Motor Vault’s two‑story designs with ceilings up to 18 feet provide ample room for collectible cars, motorcycles, RVs, trailers, boats, and automobilia. Owners personalize interiors to match their vision—functional showcase, workshop, or a comfortable lounge. Mezzanines can be added to maximize vertical space for storage or seating.
A Community of Enthusiasts
Beyond storage, Motor Vault delivers a lifestyle. Owners enjoy a members‑only clubhouse for game nights, watch parties, and private gatherings. Monthly social events connect like‑minded enthusiasts who value quality vehicles and the culture surrounding them.
Security, Comfort, and Everyday Convenience
- Private gated development with extensive exterior camera coverage and optional in‑suite cameras
- Steel‑reinforced doors, block construction, fire sprinklers, and fire alarms in every unit
- Pre‑wired for internet and pre‑plumbed for bathrooms
- Energy‑efficient climate control to protect collections from Arizona heat
Own the Asset, Not Just the Space
Motor Vault is ideal for owners who want to downsize their home without sacrificing their collections. Ownership builds equity compared to renting traditional storage, providing a permanent place for vehicles and gear to call home.
