Perhaps the best way to estimate the cost of a new parking garage is to look at the number of spaces it contains.

A reliable average is approximately $7,000 per space for multi-level garages. Surface facilities can be built for around $1,500 per space in most cases. (More than 60 percent of paid off-street parking is in surface lots with the remaining 40 percent in garages.)
