Residents pull into the ground-level entry lobby and exit the vehicle. The system is activated via touchscreen kiosk or mobile app. A battery-operated robotic AGV lifts the car on its storage tray and transports it to a designated space within the 13-floor parking vault. When the resident requests retrieval, the AGV delivers the vehicle back to the entry level. No driving in the garage. No walking between levels.

All movement is coordinated by the ParkPlus Maestro traffic management platform, using vision systems, embedded floor markers, and lasers to manage storage, retrieval, and all robot sequencing across 411 spaces simultaneously.

At the time of completion in 2023, the Brickell House AGV Automated Parking System was the largest and tallest automated parking structure in the world by both total capacity (411 spaces) and vault height (13 floors). No other fully automated AGV parking installation had been completed at this scale.

The system also introduced a world first: the AGV robotic carriers at Brickell House are the first parking AGVs to use inductive charging. Previous AGV systems relied on contact-based charging docks. The inductive system allows robots to charge without physical connectors, improving uptime and long-term reliability. The technology is designed and manufactured in the USA and protected by multiple global patents.

Inductive charging transfers electrical energy wirelessly, using electromagnetic fields rather than physical connectors. The AGV robots at Brickell House are the first parking robots in the world to use this technology. When a robot parks over an inductive charging pad, charging begins automatically — no plug, no contact point, no mechanical wear.

This matters for long-term performance. Contact-based charging systems in high-use environments accumulate wear on connectors and docking mechanisms over time. Inductive charging eliminates that failure mode. For a system running 29 robots across 13 floors continuously, the reliability and maintenance implications are significant.

80 of the 411 parking spaces at Brickell House include integrated EV charging. Charging is built into the storage trays, not mounted to walls or fixed points. When a qualifying EV is stored on a charging-enabled tray, the charging connection activates automatically as part of the storage sequence. The vehicle charges while parked, with no resident involvement. When retrieval is requested, the vehicle arrives ready to drive.

The system accommodates 411 vehicles across 13 floors of enclosed vault space. It accepts vehicles up to 18 feet long, 7 feet 3 inches wide, 6 feet 8 inches tall, and weighing up to 6,000 pounds.

The AGV vault at Brickell House requires approximately 57 percent less floor area than a conventional garage of equivalent capacity. This is achieved by eliminating ramps, drive aisles, and the ceiling clearances required for pedestrians walking to and from parked vehicles. For a 411-space parking requirement in the heart of Miami’s Brickell district, the floor area recovered by using an AGV system instead of a conventional structure is substantial — and at Brickell real estate values, translates directly into significant additional sellable residential area.

Yes. CNBC featured the Brickell House ParkPlus system in an 18-minute segment, following a Ferrari through the full storage and retrieval cycle and covering the technology behind the 29-robot operation. Fox Business also featured the system as part of its coverage of sustainable urban infrastructure and EV-ready parking technology. Both segments are embedded on this page.
