A solution to parking problems

-

AS the Christmas rush approaches, parking becomes a serious matter to consider aside from horrendous traffic jams. These are two major issues that motorists encounter everyday in the urban jungle, where one mistake can either cost you a burglarize­d car or a getting towed or wheel-clamped in some areas.

What happened in Japan, Korea, Singapore, Taiwan is also happening here. Gentrifica­tion has caused a lot of areas around the whole country to build new high-rise beside existing ones.

While this has helped bring up real estate prices, it has also limited the options or spaces where people can park as most open spaces have been sold or are being developed. Before, people used to park on the streets without any problems; now the streets are cleared out to accommodat­e rising traffic.

This is where Smart Parking comes in. Smart Parking was first developed and used in Japan and eventually spread across to Korea and neighborin­g countries. One can convert an under-utilized space of 33sqm (approximat­ely two parking slots) and increase it vertically to 12 or 16 vehicles. Ingress and egress is not a problem as there is an optional turntable that can go with the unit. At 12.5sqm per slot, that is an extra 150sqm - 200 sqm of “real estate” that you have added into your existing property that can attract tenants and customers to your building.

Smart Parking has sold over 566 units in over 32 countries. It can be installed in five days and is very safe, easy and economical to use. It carries a 10-year warranty on parts and has lifetime free service on labor which means maintenanc­e cost is very minimal. And the best part is should you wish to relocate it to another location, it can be easily transferre­d.

For details on how to maximize your parking space, you may call 372 3601 to 05 or email smartparki­ng@ emicor-inc.com.
