Second provider saved us, worth the monthly cost?

Buddy fought six weeks and only got half back after a scratched door.

Worked on a mixed use deal in Nashville back in 2022 where the lender finally stopped demanding the old 4 per 1000 formula after we showed them three years of declining car counts at comparable sites. What moved the needle was not the city study, it was the tenant mix. Once we had a grocery delivery hub and two small cafes signed, the underwriter admitted the parking was sitting empty most days and cut the requirement by a third. Watch your lease language though, because some national tenants still have their own internal rules that lock you into more spaces than the lender or the city wants. My advice is to pull the actual utilization data for your specific block before you walk into that room, because board members respond way better to counts from their own district than to a study from somewhere else. Also talk to your lender early, since most of them are still using old checklists and you have to walk them through the change yourself.
