New partnership plans long-term growth of New York parking giant
NEW YORK – July 22, 2024 – The Broe Group, a multi-billion-dollar, privately-held investment company with holdings in strategic markets across the United States, has joined Hudson Valley Parking Trust to acquire 100% of New York City’s largest parking company, ICON Parking. Led by industry leader Jerry Skillett, Hudson Valley Parking Trust is a global parking platform with a proven record of successful industry acquisitions and asset management. The new collaboration combines The Broe Group’s deep real estate knowledge with Hudson Valley Parking Trust’s extensive parking operational experience.
“ICON Parking is the industry leader in the top parking market, and we are committed to its long-term success,” said Hudson Valley Parking Trust founder Jerry Skillett. “This new partnership adds strategic resources and relationships to fuel sustained growth.”
