ParkingSearch.com Releases First Online Marketplace Dedicated to Parking Spaces

CHICAGO -- Chicago-based ParkingSearch.com has announced the release of the first commercially available Web-based search engine and marketplace for buyers, renters and sellers of parking spaces nationally.

CHICAGO (PRWEB) December 15, 2002 -- Chicago-based ParkingSearch.com has announced the release of the first commercially available Web-based search engine and marketplace for buyers, renters and sellers of parking spaces nationally.

ParkingSearch.com maintains a national database of parking spots that enable buyers or renters to locate spots with an easy-to-use Web interface. Buyers can utilize the search engine to quickly locate available parking spots for sale or rent in their targeted geographical location(s). The site enables sellers with the ability to post" their spot(s) for sale or rent through an account sign up. Sellers who have accounts can quickly view and manage their parking spot inventory.

There is a real demand for a parking-specific Internet marketplace and listing service that is cost effective and easy to use," said founder Stephen Sinclair Jr. Web sites catering to auto and real estate are abundant. However, the only place to find parking is through traditional sources of media (mainly classified listings in newspapers or on three-by-five index cards in laundry rooms). This method of listing or finding parking spots is both expensive and cumbersome. ParkingSearch.com addresses these issues and provides a cost-effective alternative."

Property owners and commercial garages have already begun listing parking spots for sale and rent in the Chicagoland area.

ParkingSearch.com is already completing its integration gateway, which will allow garage owners, property managers and service providers to integrate their systems for inventory and pricing updates seamlessly with the use of Microsofts .NET framework.

In the near future, it will be necessary to provide online mapping and direction finders with available parking spaces that match the target designations for drivers," Sinclair said. Online mapping and GPS systems should be logical enough to allow the driver to select a parking garage at or near their destinations. ParkingSearch.coms integration gateway will provide that information in real time. Besides, when was the last time you parked your car in the lobby of a building?"
