What Our Clients Say

Discover how Alan Kahn has transformed parking facilities across North America, enhancing value and exceeding expectations. Here’s what our clients have to say about our expertise and results.
What Our Clients Say

Alan oversaw the management, operations and financial performance of three large CBD parking garages in Chicago, Atlanta and Milwaukee for Riverview Realty Partners. The garages contain more than 3230 aggregate parking spaces.

There was significant revenue and expense improvement in all three garages following Alan's takeover of the garages. In addition, the revenue and expense estimate he provided prior to taking over were exceeded by actual operating results.

We have since sold the three office assets and the related garages that Alan ran. A significant increase in the value of the garages was realized due to Alan's garage revenue and expense improvements when the assets were sold. Alan is an
experienced parking operator and is honest, very good with people and effectively markets his product. I highly recommend Alan because he is extremely results oriented and a very experienced parking professional.

Jeff Patterson President and CEO of Riverview Realty Partners, Chicago, IL.

I have known Alan Kahn tor 16 years and have done significant business with him and his companies over this time frame. I have relied on Alan and his teams to provide effective underwriting and operations enhancement on significant parking assets in diverse cities ranging from The Tabor Center in Denver, the Sears Tower in Chicago, and Transamerica Tower in Baltimore. His performance has always met or exceeded my expectations.

Most recently, I hired Alan and his firm to manage the parking for three significant properties in downtown Baltimore. His firm, Lanier Parking, has done commendable work on our behalf. They identified opportunity during our underwriting process. and since acquisition have driven revenues up significantly and increased parking NOI by more than 25% in their first year of operation.

Alan and his team understand the property management aspect of their business extremely well, but the differentiator is they understand the mixed-use nature of the business and they are able to drive revenue results better than any I've seen in the business.

Please accept this letter as my endorsement for Lanier Parking to manage any commercial parking facility you may have.

Sincerely.

Stephen E. Budorick President and CEO, COPT

Alan is a talented professional and delivers on every promise he makes. His approach is methodical; however, he goes far beyond what is conventional in the rest of the industry. His creative approach to partnering with me as a client has resulted in the maximum financial yield from each property. I look forward to working with him again.

Alan is an expert in his field & can use his vast knowledge of the parking industry to create deals that were mutually beneficial without resorting to formulaic means.

I have worked with Alan on a large parking management contract for a valet only CBD garage.

It was a pleasure working with him.
