Carrollton Phase II Opening Celebration
Garages of America celebrated the grand opening of Carrollton Phase II on September 10, bringing owners, automotive enthusiasts, partners and friends together for an evening centered around cars, community and the shared passions that have defined Garages of America from the beginning.
Located at 2313 Tarpley Road, Carrollton Phase II expands the sold-out Carrollton community with 67 luxury garage suites and six flex office-warehouse spaces. The new development is adjacent to Carrollton Phase I, which opened in 2020 with 69 garages and five flex spaces.
The evening gave guests an opportunity to experience firsthand what makes a Garages of America community different. Throughout the property, garages were transformed into gathering spaces featuring an impressive collection of automobiles, food and drinks, a racing simulator and plenty of opportunities for owners and guests to connect.
Garages of America extends a special thank you to the sponsors who helped make the evening possible: Capital Title, Avondale Dealerships, b1 Bank, Reliable Construction, Innovative Autosports, deVance Electronic Lifestyle and P1 Motor Lounge.
Avondale added to the automotive experience by bringing an Aston Martin and McLaren for guests to experience. From the cars and simulator to the food, drinks and gathering spaces, the evening reflected what Garages of America is all about — bringing people together around a shared passion.
Carrollton Phase II also marks another first for Garages of America with the addition of P1 Motor Lounge, a 21,000-square-foot automotive club and storage facility created in partnership with Texas Collector Car Storage & Club. P1 will provide vehicle storage, detailing, light maintenance and concierge services while creating another place for automotive enthusiasts to gather.
For Garages of America co-founders Fred Gans and Jack Griffin, the Carrollton expansion represented another milestone for an idea they began pursuing together more than a decade ago: creating places where people could own the space they needed for their cars, collections and hobbies while becoming part of a community of people who shared their interests.
The September 10 celebration would become especially meaningful just 10 days later, when Jack passed away unexpectedly on September 20.
Jack’s influence could be seen throughout the Carrollton celebration — in the extraordinary cars, certainly, but even more in the people gathered around them. He believed cars had a way of bringing people together, and that belief helped shape Garages of America from its earliest days.
As Garages of America continues to grow, Carrollton Phase II is both an important new chapter and a reflection of the vision Jack helped establish alongside Fred. The garages may be what bring people through the gates, but the friendships, experiences and community created inside them are an important part of what makes Garages of America special.
