The economics (i.e. supply and demand) behind parking spaces in the heart of the city continue to bolster the appeal and stature of owning a space outright, for those who simply need a place to park a vehicle either inside or out, or those looking to build a stable and diversified investment portfolio.
2010 is off to a quick start, with the latest Boston parking spot sale taking place at the Ritz Carlton (2 Avery Street) in Boston’s Midtown neighborhood – the space in the self-park secured Ritz Carlton garage sold for $88,000.
