18.03.2008 VINCI PARK MOVES INTO TOP 10 PARKING COMPANIES
IN THE UNITED STATES
LAZ Parking, owned 50% by VINCI Park
since 2007, expanded strongly in 2008, both
through external growth (acquisition of two
companies totalling 26,500 spaces) and
organic growth (new contract to operate
36,000 on-street parking spaces in Chicago).
This momentum carried over into the begin-
ning of 2009 with the acquisition of Ultimate
Parking (130 contracts in Boston, Providence
and San Diego), which specialises in hotel,
restaurant and private event parking.
In total, LAZ Parking now operates over 1,000
car parks and 325,000 spaces in 19 states and
90 cities in the United States.
