Couple of thoughts.

Go as high as you can with clear ceilings so in the future you can put in a lift if you want. Even if it is just to store another car (not to work on the cars). If you have near-term plans for a lift, get a garage door that works for that (roll up or high track), and use a jack shaft opener instead of the typical style.

Run a 220v circuit into each garage - you may want to power a lift or other equipment, or charge an EV in the future.

Add lots of lighting! Makes it so much easier to clean a car, do whatever little projects you will in the garage.

Consider epoxy flooring, or a garage tile, or at least seal the concrete. Any of these help with keeping it clean (and anything stored in it).

Insulate the walls and get insulated doors if you want to retain heat in winter, and especially if you want to heat the garage(s).

Garagejournal.com has some interesting forums on these topics.
