Automated Parking Systems for Multifamily | Jake & Gino show

 Developers are squeezing more value from tighter sites—Automated Parking Systems for Multifamily can make the deal pencil. Klaus Multiparking’s Chris Tiessen breaks down costs, timelines, and real-world ROI.

 In this conversation, we explore how Automated Parking Systems for Multifamily unlock density, revenue, and approvals when conventional parking won’t fit. Chris explains the major system types (independent stackers, puzzle parkers, fully automatic), typical price ranges (~$12k per stacker space, ~$20–25k puzzle, ~$60k+ fully auto), and why many projects hit a ~5-year payback. We discuss when to loop parking engineers in (schematic design), retrofits (ceiling height, site constraints), service coverage, and how AI (plate recognition, billing) will streamline user experience. You’ll also hear about Klaus’s new Kvario “puzzle-in-a-box” for open lots—perfect for mixed resident/public use (think stadium/game days). If you develop in dense submarkets or need a value-add lever, Automated Parking Systems for Multifamily could be the difference between “no” and “go.”
