It is now over a thousand per month for a dedicated space in Manhattan, and that seems to be about the right price.

A parking space takes up about 200 ft² (not counting things like the width of the travel lane between parking spaces), and office rent in Manhattan runs about $7-8/ft² each month.

Chances are, even at well over $1000/month, the parking infrastructure is still effectively below the cost of the space it takes up.

On the other hand, a parking space is a bare concrete slab, or even a lift holding several cars over a bare concrete slab; and an office building is ... not.
As I understand it, parking buildings are actually more expensive to construct due to the engineering requirements
There are plenty of garages in Manhattan with monthly rates around 500. It really depends on neighborhood
