Parking garages, especially those going up in big cities, have a lot of competition. It can be difficult to stand out against long-established vehicle storage lots and buildings. If you want your parking facility to keep up with the competition, you may want to include some key features. Here are some amenities every new parking facility needs to attract customers.
Safety Features
Patrons may feel unsafe visiting parking garages that lack proper lighting, surveillance, and other security measures. When designing your parking garage, prioritize safety features such as enhanced lighting, surveillance cameras, and security support. Some parking facilities provide emergency assistance buttons that can instantly send a call or signal to the security station. These features provide customers with greater peace of mind and a better customer experience.
Charging Stations
The number of electric cars on the road is growing. If you plan to build a parking garage in a high-traffic area, charging stations are must-have features. Many parking garages are expanding their parking solutions to offer specialty spots for charging electric vehicles. Keep up with the trends by including charging stations in your facility. These amenities will attract new customers and drivers looking for charging options.
Vehicle Service Stations
Customers will notice and appreciate even the smallest amenities, such as car washing stations, windshield washing squeegees, and electric vacuum cleaners. Adding these small amenities to vehicle service stations can provide customers with a convenient way to take care of their vehicles while visiting your facility.
Automated Parking Valets
You’ll need new ways to expand your space options with the increased patronage you can expect at your parking garage. Automated parking solutions can double or triple the amount of space the average garage offers for vehicle storage and amenities. While automated parking helps add other amenities to your garage, it is an amenity in itself. Automated car-stacking technology allows customers to save time they would otherwise spend looking for a spot to park their vehicle.
Consider including some of these amenities every new parking garage needs as you design the layout for your structure.
