Parking Facility Owners Say “Show Me the Money”
作者:Charlie Munn
越来越多的停车场业主开始把他们的停车场物业看作是需要管理的"资产",而不仅仅是提供给顾客的被动的"便利设施"。在经济危机下,这些业主的经济压力不断增加,在这种新形势下,停车场经营者开始坚持"现金为王"的理念。
过去,物业经理把停车场看作是"必要之恶",其实,如果适当管理的话,停车将是商业项目成功的关键。
大概13年前,瑞尔市停车管理局的计划是负的现金余额,不过,主管部门很有远见的允许停车管理局进行调整,以商业模式进行管理和运营。自从改成按商业模式运作,他们在没有发行债券的情况下建造了两座停车设施,还具备了融资能力,参与了中心区一座新建体育馆的建设以及一座娱乐中心和两座新建办公楼的开发。

Parking facility owners are increasingly viewing their parking
properties as “assets” to be managed, rather than merely passive
“amenities” to be provided for their customers. As hard times linger,
economic pressures on these owners are increasing and parking operators
across North America are coming to grips with this new, 21st century
reality: cash is king.
