For many years parking lots were overlooked, underappreciated and underdeveloped. That time is over.
Why are parking lots now in so much demand?
Great locations
Many parking lots are valuable because they’re sandwiched in the middle of really strong locations.
The trend is fueled by lot owners looking to cash in on a booming real estate market and developers seeking to build on what are often the best sites in town.
Cash flow while you plan your project
If for some reason the developer can’t proceed with the project right away, they have a nice cash-flowing asset that is always parked on.
It takes time for the development process to play out. During that time, they have income coming in.
Flexibility
If the real estate cycle begins to slow, the developer can sit on the land and wait. Whenever the market comes back or the demand returns they will be ready to begin construction.
Clean slate
Surface lots are by definition empty. There’s no pre-existing building conditions so you don’t have to worry about demolition…and finding asbestos or other expensive environmental challenges.
