My buddy place, SUV side by side in small spots, all in a row (I don't know how they even get out their cars)

First off congrats on your new home. My last place was across the street from you at New Water and ended up moving down to Town Center now. You're realtor may not know what to do as I had the same issue when I first moved into New Water. Your realtor would have to go to the developer, in this case, is Polygon and I'm not sure what the form is called but you can fill one out and with enough convincing and like a $200 fee (I think) can switch granted there are spots not assigned to completed units yet. I literally had the worst "small car" spot as I couldn't even fit my old Del Sol in and it was also right in front of the 2nd residential gate. My realtor ended up going to Polygon and got me switched. I say developer because believe it or not most developments the car spot actually belongs to the developer. The parking stall is only assigned by right of usage to the unit.
So your Strata council or the property management can't do shit about your spot as they technically don't have the power to do so. Now whether Polygon caught on and won't allow it or your realtor doesn't know how to ask.....well that's another question. I'd say doesn't hurt to ask and hope it works out for you. You can also look for a parking spot to rent and then rent yours later on to help offset the cost cause believe me when your building is fully occupied and all the street parking is taken(which is like 90% all the time) people will start to scramble looking for additional spots.
