West Hollywod Leads The Way With The First Automated Parking Structure in Southern California

West Hollywod Leads The Way With The First Automated Parking Structure in Southern California.

The City of West Hollywood has awarded a $2.6 million contract to Unitronics to design, engineer, fabricate, install and maintain a 200-car automated vehicle storage and retrieval system for the West Hollywood City Hall Automated Garage and Community Plaza Project which will be located at 8300 Santa Monica Boulevard.

Automated parking garages can hold as many as three times the number of cars as traditional ramp-style parking garages.

Operationally, automated parking garages provide customers with a valet-like parking experience that is fast, safe, and convenient.

According to Unitronics, Automated Parking Garages are also less expensive to build when compared to conventional parking garages. Automated parking garages utilize computer-controlled motorized lifts, conveyors and shuttles to transport cars from the arrival level to a parking space and vice versa, without human assistance.
