When it comes to building in tight spaces and urban zones, parking is often one of the biggest design headaches. Enter automated parking systems (APS) — a modern solution that helps developers and architects maximize space, reduce costs, and streamline design.
In this post, we break down what an APS is, how it works, and why more and more developers are making the switch.
What Is an Automated Parking System?
An Automated Parking System is a mechanical system that automatically moves vehicles into a storage position using platforms, lifts, or conveyors — removing the need for traditional ramps, wide drive aisles, and oversized footprints.Why Developers Love APS
- Save Space: APS requires up to 60% less space than traditional garages.
- Reduce Construction Costs: Less excavation, fewer materials, and shorter timelines.
- Streamline Permitting: APS is often favored in high-density zones.
- Appeal to Tenants: APS feels modern and tech-forward.Where APS Works Best
Multifamily, mixed-use, hospitality, commercial, or municipal projects in tight spaces all benefit from APS.
