New York City's first million-dollar parking spot -- offering privacy for "a celebrity or a business person who is camera shy" -- is on the market.

The private garage at 66 E. 11th St. is "for someone who wants complete privacy," said Prudential Douglas Elliman Vice Chairman Dolly Lenz.

"You can drive in and not be seen again," Lenz said. "It's for the type of person who finds that attractive. It could be a celebrity or a business person who is camera shy."

The pricy parking space would belong to either the tenant of the extravagant condo's 8,000-square-foot townhouse or the penthouse, says developer Morad Fareed.

The New York Post reported Fareed is in the process of converting an eight-story prewar loft building in lower Manhattan into six luxury condominiums with whopper price tags. Units would be complete with shower water enriched with vitamin C and aloe, heat reflexology flooring and premium air quality designed to give residents a better night's rest.

The primo parking space would have its own deed and sales contract, and the "tenant" would be responsible for maintenance fees, just like a condo.

"The reality of New York City is that people are willing to pay more for a parking spot than the average person in the country pays for a home," said Robert Knackal, chairman of Massey Knackal Realty. (UPI)

이곳 주차비 한번 내려면 집 팔아야...!


미국에서 무려 1백만달러 (한화 약 11억 6천8백만원)에 달하는 주차 공간이 생겼다고 UPI통신이 보도했다.

뉴욕에서는 최초인 이 개인주차장은 “완벽한 사생활”을 원하는 사람들을 위해 마련되었다고 한다.

개발담당자인 모라드 파리드는 주차장 근처에 위치한 사치스러운 연립주택이나 펜트하우스의 주민이 이곳을 이용할 것으로 예상했다.

이 초고가 주차공간의 이용객은 마치 일반주택과 같이 계약서를 작성하고, 계약 기간을 정한 다음 관리비까지 내야한다.

매시 나칼 부동산 사장 로버트 나칼은 “뉴욕시에 사는 사람들은 평균적인 사람들이 주택에 쓰는 돈보다 더 많은 돈을 기꺼이 주차비에 쓴다”라고 말헀다.
