You’ll need a trunk full of cash to park here. The city’s first million-dollar parking space is on the market.
想要在这里停车，你需要带一大箱现金来才行。如今纽约首个百万美元停车位即将出售。
The private garage at 66 E. 11th St. costs six times more than the national-average price of a single-family home. Buying it would be the same as paying a $115 ticket for illegal parking every day — for 24 years.
这一位于纽约东区第11大道66号的私人车库的售价比独立住宅的全国均价高出6倍。把它买下来相当于24年里天天缴付非法停车的115美元罚单。
For moguls or celebrities, however, the rare commodity of a Manhattan parking space inside their building, with a curb cut at the street, is a huge status symbol and selling point.

The parking spot will have its own deed and sales contract, and be charged maintenance fees, just as a condo would.
这个停车位将有自己的契据和销售合同，而且要征收维护费，就像有独立产权的公寓一样。
The city’s gaudiest garage is expected to hit the market this fall, after construction is complete and the Attorney General’s Office signs off on the building’s condo conversion.
这一纽约市最豪华的车库在建设完成并由检察署签署大楼的独立产权转移书后，将于今年秋天上市出售。
Last year, developer Morad Fareed purchased the eight-story prewar loft building for $120 million and is in the process of converting the former parking garage into six luxury condominiums with mammoth, 15-foot-high c
