Elevated Parking Completes the World’s First Future Proofed Parking Structure

Located at 200 Park Ave. in San Jose California, resides a 800 space mechanical parking system which has been designed to adapt to future autonomous (human-less) parking or be removed once vehicle demand decreases in the future.

As shown in the photo below, floors two, three and four have floor to ceiling windows. When the system is removed these floors can be used as leasable office space.

The Elevated HZ1 “NoPost” system is designed with no columns to interfere with vehicle parking and is a preferred solution by valet companies.

Built by General Contractor Level 10 for the Jay Paul Company, garage floors 2, 3 & 4 house 800 vehicles utilizing valet parking until the transition to autonomous lift parking is available.

When faced with limited building footprints, unfavorable soil conditions, high excavation costs, floor area ratio limits, height limits, or any combination of these conditions, mechanical parking solutions have the potential to not only achieve a more cost-effective parking solution, but can also be compatible with adaptive reuse should parking demand change in the future. 

The Elevated Parking Post-less systems solve challenges posed by budgetary restraints and height restrictions by providing nearly three times the amount of parking over what could be achieved in the same area by traditional methods. By combining autonomous parking with mechanical parking high construction, land and labor costs will be greatly reduced allowing for affordable urban parking.
