The U.S. parking market generates over $120 billion annually<\/a>. The more space you have, the easier it is to increase revenue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To secure a piece of this $120-billion-dollar pie, your next step is to purchase land<\/a> or prepare your existing property (or properties) for your thriving parking business. (FYI: This part of the process may or may not involve the installation of gravel or asphalt). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you have a lot to work with–be it a paved or unpaved lot—it’s time to determine how many parking spaces per acre you can accommodate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This calculation will depend on the following factors:<\/strong> the size of the vehicles<\/strong> you plan to store (sedans, SUVs, box trucks, trailers, boats, RVs<\/a>, etc.) and the amount of land y<\/strong>ou have to work with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thankfully, with the help of our parking rule dimen<\/span>sions\/guide and our free parking Blueprint tool<\/strong><\/a>, you can explore different layouts and maximize the profitability of the land you have to work with.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
