This strategic acquisition further expands Towne Park’s commercial parking portfolio, building on its recent acquisition of over 100 commercial parking facilities across the country, and broadens its reach in these new highly desirable markets, further strengthening its industry leading position. Towne Park will provide UPP with additional resources to help scale its innovative business model and revenue management solutions. By leveraging each company’s unique strengths and complementary markets, Towne Park and UPP will enhance their ability to deliver exceptional service and asset value creation for its clients.
