Residential &
Commercial Parking

A standard surface parking space requires 30-36 m2 including drive aisle proportion. In a 200-unit residential tower with 1:1 parking requirement, that is 7,200 m2 of land — equivalent to an entire building footprint. A PSH-5 tower parking system parks the same 200 vehicles in 480 m2, freeing 6,720 m2 for apartments, amenities, or landscaping. In cities where land sells for $3,000-$10,000/m2, this difference represents $20M-$67M in recovered land value.

For developments requiring 4-20 parking spaces, the PJS two-post car stacker is the cost-effective entry point. At $35,000-$55,000 per unit (2 vehicles), the per-space cost is $17,500-$27,500 — comparable to surface parking when land cost is factored. The 220V single-phase power requirement means no special electrical infrastructure. Installation in 48-72 hours on a standard concrete slab. Retrieval time: 40-70 seconds.

For hotels, office towers, and mixed-use developments requiring 20+ spaces, the PSH puzzle system delivers the highest vehicles-per-m2 ratio. A PSH-3+2 configuration (3 above, 2 underground) parks 5 vehicles in 36 m2 — 5x the density of surface parking. The horizontal traversing mechanism enables true 3D access: any vehicle can be retrieved in 60-120 seconds without moving other vehicles.

For architecturally-sensitive projects where exposed parking equipment would compromise the design, underground pit systems deliver automated parking with zero visual footprint. The platform sits flush with the floor when not in use. However, underground installation requires $50,000-$100,000 in civil works per pit (waterproofing, drainage, ventilation), making it suitable only for premium developments where aesthetics command a price premium.

Automated parking requires 2-5 minutes of user interaction per visit (drive onto platform, exit, confirm storage via app or panel). This friction is acceptable in residential buildings where residents make the trade-off once daily. In hotels and office buildings with customer-facing parking, retrieval time reliability matters: a car stacker delivers consistent 40-70 second retrieval; a puzzle system may take 3-5 minutes in worst-case blocked scenarios.
