Parking in Manhatten, New york

Above-ground parking garages in Manhattan have some special features related to the specific challenges and characteristics of the urban landscape.

Manhattan is known for its limited available space. Above-ground parking garages therefore have to use the available space efficiently and try to accommodate as many cars's as possible in a limited area.
To save space, some above-ground parking garages in Manhattan have a vertical design. This means that cars're stacked on different levels using mechanical systems, allowing more vehicles to fit on a smaller ground area. And they are accessible 24/7.

Unlike with us in the Netherlands, these car parks are creative solutions to the limited space and constant flow of vehicles in Manhattan's busy city centre. And particularly beautiful to look at!

Parking in Manhattan, New York

Above-ground parking garages in Manhattan have unique features that are closely tied to the specific challenges and characteristics of the urban landscape.

Manhattan is renowned for its limited available space. Above-ground parking garages, therefore, must efficiently manage the space at hand and aim to accommodate as many vehicles as possible within a restricted area. To save space, some above-ground parking garages in Manhattan adopt a vertical design. This involves stacking cars on different levels using mechanical systems, allowing more vehicles to be placed on a smaller ground area. Additionally, these garages are accessible 24/7.

In contrast to the situation in the Netherlands, these parking facilities in Manhattan represent creative solutions for the constrained space and the constant flow of vehicles in the bustling city centre. Moreover, they are particularly aesthetically pleasing to observe!
