When architect Mike Rosen received a mandate to explore every cutting-edge, futuristic, energy-saving technology possible for a multifamily development in Lansdale, Pennsylvania, few would have predicted that one of the chosen technologies—an automated parking system (APS)—would end up making the project not only possible but also profitable.
The APS made it pencil out, without it, it would not have worked. Because the automated parking takes less volume, on the ground level, we were able to pick up 17 live/work units, on grade and accessible to the street. So all of a sudden, real estate that was previously occupied by parking now looked like townhomes, which improved the streetscape - Mike Rosen, Progressive AE, an architecture and planning firm headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan
For developers and architects, automated parking garages can change the entire balance sheet of a project.
