BOOMING CALGARY PRICIEST PLACE TO PARK IN CANADA

July 27, 2007

Toronto is the seventh most expensive city in North America for monthly office parking, according to a new survey.

The annual Colliers International report on parking rates found little change in rankings of different cities, although prices rose more in Canadian cities - especially smaller centres like Edmonton and Victoria - than they did south of the border.

Calgary passed Toronto last year as the priciest place in Canada to buy monthly unreserved parking in the downtown business area.

The booming city's $350-a-month median rate was exceeded in North America only by New York, Boston and San Francisco - but it still is a bargain, compared with about $1,200 (U.S.) a month for a spot in the financial centre of London's City district.

Toronto is the seventh most expensive city in North America for monthly unreserved parking i the downtown business area.

Surprising about the Toronto/Chicago virtual parity thing.

Half a dozen years ago now friends of mine paid $20 US to park near the Magnificent Mile on a Saturday afternoon while I was visiting with them.

Yeeeowch!
