    i have some warehouse space that is left over from another tenant...

    thinking about leasing it out (just among word of mouth friends) for a big dog / man cave garage thing....

    how many cars would you think could fit ? not crammed in bumper to bumper...... 20-25?

    it is square

    A good rule of thumb for planning a "typical parking garage" is 320/sf per stall (includes the circulation space - very tight and not so appealing...in your case would fit about 30 cars.)

    If wanted to make it more spacious and realistic for exotics, use a multiplier on that by 1.3x or so. Which would allow about 22-25 cars...

    Ever look at house plans or actuall new houses? A lot of the two car garages are 19x21. Those are the houses where both cars sit outside all of the time.

    I thought the correct answer was "One fewer than you want"

    I'm referring to large spaces, like the 10k you mention. Ie When doing 5 level 100k+ sf garages...

    This rule would definitely not apply to a house :)

    Oh I'm thinking your 320 is much better than the standard. :)
