Over the past few years, luxury garage condominiums have been popping up around the US. Secure and climate controlled spaces that are larger than typical storage units, condo garages are used to store boats, expensive cars and other collections.
Now, a Colorado company has carved out a new niche in the growing market: Airport Garages sells units near airports in towns with high numbers of second 
homes. Their first facilities opened in Vail, Colorado. Owners can park their car in the garage while they're away, providing a secure haven for their vehicle and ensuring they'll be able to drive straight from the airport to their ski chalet. The units also have plenty of storage space for skis, jet skis and other toys. In addition, benefits include automobile services — car starting, tire and battery maintenance, oil changes, etc — and use of a private clubhouse.
There's a good lesson here for entrepreneurs: Someone saw a need, operated on a simple business idea, and now has a profitable business that's making news.
