Platinum Parking adds more than 100,000 spaces in 300 locations. The Broe Group’s five decades of real estate acquisition expertise support Hudson Valley Parking Trust’s planned market expansion within the $9.4 billion parking industry.
“Platinum Parking adds complementary operations in strategic markets to create a national parking platform,” said The Broe Group’s Chief Investment Officer Carl Peterson. “Our joint venture with Hudson Valley Parking Trust will continue to assess strategic acquisitions and organic growth opportunities.”
