02 — The challenge

178 spaces beside a heritage church, 13.8 m below Bloor Street

A tight downtown site right next to a heritage church, carrying the parking requirement of a 349-unit tower. The structural column layout is unique to the tower above, which left no regular bay for a conventional garage, and the system had to reach 13.838 m below grade.

The WVIP solution

A conveyor-type fully automated system with two entry cabins and two lift shafts. Retrieval is fully automated, with no self-parking, no manoeuvring and no ramps anywhere in the structure. Every resident has an assigned, secure space, and the system runs under remote monitoring with no staff needed on site. A short access path keeps transfer times low, which is what makes 178 spaces workable here.

Ground floor and four levels. Two independent systems share the entry level, each with its own cabin, turntable and lift shaft. The three storage levels below carry 178 spaces on a plate shaped by the tower’s columns.
