Latest NYC condo amenity: $1 million parking spot

NEW YORK

A condo development in New York City’s pricy SoHo neighborhood is charging for a parking spot as much as it would cost to buy a nice house in Dallas or Seattle — $1 million.

The New York Times reports the 10 underground spots at 42 Crosby St. will cost more per square foot than the apartments upstairs. The parking spots will run between $5,000 and $6,666 a square foot.

The three-bedroom apartments will cost about $8 million to $10 million, or about $3,100 a square foot.

Brokerage firm CEO Shaun Osher said there are “few to no options” for parking in SoHo, just northeast of the World Trade Center site. He said his firm is “looking at setting the benchmark.”

McCutchan moved from job to job. Now living in Connecticut, he decided it was time the trophy came home.

The trophy will be placed on display Saturday at the school’s new pool when members of the swim team from that era have a reunion.

Cops photograph purported sleeping Florida burglar

NOKOMI, Fla.

Talk about a heavy sleeper.

Police say an accused burglar stayed snoozing next to a bag of jewelry he was swiping from a home despite deputies snapping pictures of him.
