Parking

As 1010 Howe was a former government building before its conversion into strata units, there are less parking stalls than strata lots.  Not each suite has a parking stall.  This unique situation has led to a strong position by the strata council on parking stalls. Due to the high number of rental suites in the building, rental tenants were using the parking garage at whim, and parking when ever and where ever they liked causing much disruption.

In an effort to curb this behavior, it was noted on numerous strata meeting minutes and the following notices were posted in the building:

• Parking Pass Displayed
• Parking Stall Rental
• Parking Limited Access with Key Fob

The parking garage is patrolled on the weekends by building security, and during the week, by strata council members.  Any vehicle that does not display the proper parking stall pass / permits or is parking in violation of the strata rules for parking will be towed at vehicle owners expense.

Renting Parking Stalls

Parking stalls are assigned to specific strata lots ONLY, and are not transferable or sellable, as they do not belong to the actual unit, but are assigned for the exclusive use of.

Individual stalls may be leased or rented, ONLY TO OTHER SUITES in the building.  It is NOT permitted to rent or lease a parking stall to anyone person or business / corporate entity who does not reside in the building. (see above notices, and below parking rules and bylaws.)
