First $1 million parking spot to soon debut in NYC

[DSG-TDI]

The city's first $1 million parking space is soon expected to hit the market.

The private parking spot is located inside an eight-story luxury condominium building at 66 E. 11th St., and will come with its own deed and sales contract, the New York Post reports. Like a condo, it will be charged maintenance fees.

The perfect car for a $1 million parking spot? Better be this:

[Air-over-water]

For that much money, I would rather buy some land and build my own race track.

[schwein]

yeah parking spots are going up, plenty of spots in boston going for 100-250k, there are plenty for less, but not where you want your parking spot to be!

[Yo Teach]

For $1 million, it ought to come with a pair of burly men named Hans and Franz who guard it in shifts 24/7.

The Veyron is not worthy of that parking spot

I am thinking a 250 GTO

I'm doubtful the $1M parking spot has the kind of security measures most 250 GTO owners demand. All you're paying for is location and access, not extremely high-value physical security.

Knowing NYC it is probably going to a beat up Lexus with taxi scars and door dings on all 4 corners.

Maybe not a 250 GTO, but something worth more then a million dollars I guess.

[REDGLI2012]

$1 million to say, yea thats my personalized, private spot. would love to see what fine it would be if someone parked there ,like any other person lol

[Live-Wire]

Eight story luxury condo....

No wonder they have to charge so much. Not really a money making type of building is it. Why not build a 30 story luxury condo and slightly lower the price per suite... build further down, have many more $500k parking spots etc.

but VEYRON is worth more then a million dollars, its around 2.6 million

[xhxxkxxdx]

and you still get charged maintenance fees. That's awesome

[unimogken]

Put a 4 post lift in the spot and split it between 2 supercars! Hehe

[WhatBlueVW]

More money than sense...

Anyone with half a brain would.

Depending on the year.
The one pictured is an earlier model worth between $1-1.9 million, depending on year and mileage.

Sounds about right.

People ask me why I don't want to live in a city, and that is one of many reasons why. (Well, not that it runs $1M, but the complete lack of)

The idea isn't to make many inexpensive units - it's about making the biggest, most outlandish condos you can. The developer paid $120 million for the building in order to convert it into 8 large, expensive units. Remember, the 1% never stopped spending.

[Lwize]

IIRC, Seinfeld bought a building to park his cars in NYC.

1%

if im buying a VEYRON im im buying NEW
used cars are for the other 99%

I would assume that someone buying one of these spots would have already bought the vehicle they wish to park in the spot...
And you stated worth and not cost.

[Chmeeee]

Not really that expensive when you consider that the penthouse is $38MM.

Plus, it has direct street access from the space. That's RARE in Manhattan. You can't have your own curb cut there and expect it to be reasonable.

[cryption]

I want to see where that spot is, like what it looks like and who parks next to you. Also, imaging buying the spot but not living in the building. Would you rent it out?

Nobody parks next to you. It's literally one space.

Who the hell would be dumb enough to drive something worth > $1m into the city daily?

Someone who has money

Having lived in Manhattan before, I know what a chore parking can be. Also knowing that any luxury condo i that particular neighborhood will be well north of a million (probably well north of several million) I wasn't too surprised.... then I read this:

The million dollar parking space I can handle, this water business is beyond the pale...

[Eightysixturbo]

Someone who has money

....would take their helicopter

[GS Audio]

Just did a Google Street View and its located next door to an Avis rental place. Doesn't seem like a very ritzy, $1.0M parking spot neighborhood.

It turns out the homeless are very rich in vitamin C so it's actually ground up homeless placed into the water supply.

[RENOG]

Very disturbing...
