From Tralee to Ardee, from the IFSC to Galway, from Tullamore to Croke Park (and 30 other locations) – how much money will you put into Derek Quinlan’s car parking empire today?

Earlier this year, Property Week reported that NAMA Top 10 developer, Derek Quinlan had put a 248-vehicle capacity car park on the market with a GBP £180m (€211m) price tag. It is located in the heart of London’s Mayfair, one of the most expensive areas for real estate in the world. At the start of this year, Quinlan’s Park Rite secured planning permission to develop the site to provide 24 flats with amenities and a developed value of GBP 300m was mooted. There is now speculation that a sale has taken place and this is dealt with in another entry here today.

The Mayfair car park is one of 36 car parks in the Park Rite empire and chances are you have in the past paid Mr Quinlan for providing you with a parking space for a few hours. Here is a list of the car parking sites.
