I bought my home in 2017 older 1960s house with a insane slope in the backyard. I was quoted ~ 40,000-50,000 for a basic 24 x 24 garage with retaining wall.
This sloped portion of our yard is essentially useless. If money wasn't an option we would do a garage with pad beside at least but the amount of space and the way the lot is we could have a triple garage + pad beside it and it could be two stories high.

I have a similar issue that I have been dealing with. Last year was looking to do a triple but massive garage (1,280 square feet and 12 feet tall). We also have an insane slope - so insane that we are building the backyard patio and full 3 feet of sod on top of the roof. Obviously at this point its more of a bunker given the load bearing requirement and the fact it needs to be waterproof.
The garage was then going to be tied into a future house down the road with access through the basement.
Our initial quote was $265K and it went to $385K real quick due to inflation of steel/concrete etc. It is my understand costs in the steel world (rebar) are normalizing.
Needless to say we are still without a garage...
