PARKING RATE SURVEY

2010 | CBD PARKING RATES
ROSS J. MOORE Chief Economist | USA

Colliers’ 10th annual North America Parking Rate Survey again indicates that even in the face of economic hardship, parking garage owners and operators have managed to hold rates steady, providing little relief to businesses or consumers. Over the past year Canadian and U.S. parking rates both registered little change, highlighting the high degree of stability in this often overlooked real estate sector.

Despite a loss of eight million jobs and a signi cantly more challenging business environment, few U.S. cities saw a signicant pullback in parking rates during the June 2009/June 2010 period. Daily and monthly parking rates largely held steady over the past 12 months, with daily parking charges down 1.4% (reversing a 1.2% increase last year) while monthly rates increased 1.1% (reversing a 0.9% drop last year). Underpinning parking rates is the continued tight balance between supply and demand – even with the economy still far from operating at capac- ity. Contributing to the modest increase in monthly parking rates has been an uptick in oce leasing activity and a general improvement in the business landscape. Daily rates, which tend to track the general economy and consumer spending, show demand for infrequent parking remains fairly strong and most likely refl ect long-held commuting patterns seen in most parts of North America. While many businesses and consumers are still acting prudently, demand for parking looks to be somewhat insensitive to price, allowing parking garage owners and opera- tors to hold rates steady even in the face of economic hardship for many.

anticipated to recover only slowly, coupled with a still- weak labor market, parking rates are expected to show little change in the coming year, but beyond the next 12 months parking rates are expected to resume their upward trajectory.
