Parkplus will debut its largest and tallest AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) Automated Parking system at Brickell House, a 46-story condominium building in Miami, Florida.
Brickell House was originally designed with a 420-space automated parking system on 13 floors. The building was built in 2014 and turned over in September 2015 by a provider who failed to deliver a successful parking system. In November 2015, the parking system was closed due to major issues with the system. Since then, the building has made alternative plans for resident and visitor parking until Parkplus’ recent award to retrofit new technology and deliver a working system.
The Parkplus AGV consists of free-roaming, self-charging, omni-directional robots using traffic management software, markers, vision systems and lasers for self-guidance to manage the automated storage and retrieval of vehicles on trays. Designed in-house by professional engineers, the Parkplus AGV has multiple global patents.
“We are very excited to be working with Parkplus,” said Yaidyt Hernandez of Brickell House Condominium Association. “Working with them has been great; they have been accommodating and have the building’s best interests in mind. We are so excited to give the residents parking and be the building we are meant to be.”
The project is estimated to take up to 77 weeks once permits and approval from the city are in place. The Automated Parking System will provide 411 parking places with 80 spaces for electric vehicle charges. As the parking system is introduced to residents and users, there will be valet parking, with personnel ready to assist in the parking and loading areas. This will eventually transition into self-parking.
Located in Miami’s Financial District, Brickell House was developed by Newgard Development Group and designed by award-winning architecture firm Sieger Suarez Architects. Common area spaces were designed by world-renowned architecture firm Yabu Pushelberg. Brickell House is a certified-green construction building with 374 units and a wide range of amenities including a rooftop pool and sundeck, a private owner’s lounge with an event bar and catering kitchen, a theater, a 50-foot lap pool with poolside cabanas, a fitness center, conference rooms, a spa with sauna and steam room and two street-level restaurants.
