Automated parking significantly increases building density, resulting in substantialy increased income and net value from added usable square footage. By increasing parking counts and reducing the parking footprint, an automated parking garage enables the developer to develop projects that were not possible with traditional parking.

Mitigated negative declaration on environmental impact report
Automated parking can increase the density of a typical urban mid or high-rise building by up to 40%. This increased density is achieved by the ability to pack more cars into a smaller space on a cubical volume basis. Automated parking also lends itself to underground applications. Both of these characteristics enable automated parking to increase the overall density of the project or keep the same density and reduce the building footprint.
