Nine million dollars. That is the amount Lionel Messi paid for the stunning condominium overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Messi bought it in 2022, prior to agreeing to a deal with the American squad. He had no plans to leave France back then, while he was still a player for Paris Saint-Germain.

Nonetheless, the Argentine athlete hoped to relocate eventually since he desired for his kids to receive an education in the United States. In 2019, he even purchased an opulent condominium in Miami, but he ultimately decided to sell it after discovering a better alternative. His Miami apartment was waiting for Messi when he departed Europe, all set for the celebrity to move in.

This is how the World Cup victor and his family ended up living in the Porsche Design Tower. The oceanfront home has a secret weapon that draws auto aficionados in like a magnet.

With a sky garage and vehicle elevator dedicated to each unit in the 56-story structure, residents can bring their motorized valuables up to their apartments and keep them handy.

Actually, it’s a “dezervator,” named for its inventor, Gil Dezer, that allows homeowners to drive their automobiles right up to their flats.

The platform rotates to align the vehicle with the entrance once the driver parks the vehicle in the circular, fully automated elevator that is encircled by glass walls. The car is pulled out of the elevator on rails and placed behind a second glass wall with a view of the living room when they get to the desired floor.

According to reports, the soccer player’s 330 square meter apartment features an open floor layout with three bedrooms and four bathrooms. Since Messi is incredibly discreet about his personal life, no pictures from inside the flat have been released.

In a Porsche 911 Dakar, Sergi from Supercar Blondie drove up to the tower. Each apartment includes two to eleven parking spaces. Lionel Messi’s number is unknown, although he undoubtedly needs a lot.

The soccer player owns three Audis from the time he was financing Barcelona in addition to an amazing Ferrari F355 S Spider Scaglietti, a Ferrari F430 Spyder, and a Maserati Gran Turismo MC Stradale. An underground parking structure is another amazing feature of the Porsche Design Tower. However, that is not even close to as costly as the sky parking.
