More Boston Projects Choose Automated Parking Systems

With Boston on pace for record commercial real estate investment in 2020, largely driven by medium-density housing requirements, more Boston developers are installing high-density automated parking systems for their projects. As the use of stacked and automated parking increases in the United States, the benefits of these systems are becoming more widely known. These benefits include reduced parking footprints, construction costs, construction schedules and operating costs.
