Calgary: Most Expensive Parking in Canada
Calgary is the fifth most expensive city in North America for monthly office parking, according to a survey by Colliers International. The 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 U.S. (£170) a month average 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. (£590) a month for a spot in the financial centre of London’s City district.
