Mechanical parking is impressive because it can double, triple, or quadruple existing parking. More than just the spectacle, though, mechanical parking can have tangible benefits that grow the worth of your commercial land. In this post, we will talk about the ways mechanical parking systems increase property value so you can decide whether one may be a worthwhile investment for you.
Add Parking Space in Small Areas
At present, the way you allot land for parking spaces may be holding back your property from reaching its full potential. When the majority of your property is taken up by a parking lot or a large garage, you have less room for other, more meaningful uses.
Mechanical parking systems are more compact because they do not need to account for the movements of drivers and pedestrians within them. Instead, they can store vehicles closely on top of each other, turning otherwise empty space into parking space. Essentially, you gain more parking spots while using far less space. The areas of your property that you free up by using mechanical parking are then open for building expansion, the establishment of outdoor resting areas, or whatever other use you might need.
Increase Parking Area Security
Parking lots and garages can be dangerous, as criminals may walk into them and vandalize or otherwise damage vehicles without meeting much resistance. Some individuals may steal automobiles or break into them to take items that sit inside as well. Moreover, workers and visitors might also come to physical harm at the hands of lawbreakers that use the parking area as a hiding place.
You can rid your property of all these issues in one fell swoop by implementing a mechanical parking system. Since the parked cars are elevated and out of the reach of random passersby, the chance that vehicles will suffer destruction to any degree is significantly smaller.
Offer Low Operation and Maintenance Needs
In a typical parking area, you need to include lighting and constantly perform maintenance on the ground to fix cracks and holes that appear there. For garages, you also must consider ventilation so that vehicle exhaust does not become trapped in them and hurt people. Mechanical parking systems do require a valet since the bottom vehicles must be moved in order to access the upper vehicles.
Because mechanical parking systems do not have people driving or walking inside their storage spaces, none of these concerns apply to them. Besides ensuring that the system itself is functioning as it should, you do not need to think about maintenance on the same scale that you would for a normal parking area. You also save money since you aren’t continuously using up electricity with lighting and ventilation.
These are all ways mechanical parking systems can increase property value because they create a better environment for people who use the property and those who own it as well.
