Taking parking further
The faces behind Legacy
Legacy was created to bring a premium offering, and a new experience, to parking for commercial real estate. We saw that parking management could be so much more than just changing the signs and turning the lights on. No matter the project, we aspire to bring new technologies, efficiency, and service that goes above the expected.
Each of the principals of Legacy, Nicholas Wenderoth, Joe Wenderoth, and Noah Gens, bring unique experience and perspectives to the company. Joe has been in the parking industry for over 35 years, and Noah has sat on the other side of the table in commercial property management for over 25 years. Add in Nicholas’ fresh thinking, and you get a whole new perspective on parking.
We don’t see ourselves as a parking management company. We see ourselves as a value add for your business. Our goal: To serve all your parking needs so well that we help maximize your asset.
