WVIP / Work / Case Studies

Real sites, real constraints.

Six projects where the parking was the hard part. Each pairs the constraint with the system that solved it, and the spaces it delivered.

Suburban density. Oakville, ON

Ninety-six spaces without a sprawling structure.

Challenge: deliver a high parking count on a suburban Oakville site without giving the program over to ramps and drive aisles. Approach: Parklift 411 stackers stacked the count vertically within a compact footprint, coordinated with Guthrie Muscovitch Architects for Rise Developments.

96spaces delivered (in progress)
Downtown infill. Toronto, ON

An early infill tower that set the pattern.

Challenge: fit secured resident parking into a tight downtown infill plate. Approach: Parklift 413 stackers with Teeple Architects for Context and Riocan Living, one of WVIP's earliest GTA installations and still running.

27spaces, completed 2012
Mixed system. Kitchener, ON

Three Parklift models for a varied vehicle mix.

Challenge: a constrained plate with a range of vehicle sizes and level conditions. Approach: a combination of Parklift 450, 465 and 543 tuned to each zone, with Neo Architects for VIVE Developments.

22spaces, completed 2023
Heavy vehicle. Toronto, ON

Turning a garbage truck on a constrained service site.

Challenge: manoeuvre a refuse truck safely in and out of a tight urban service area without dangerous reversing. Approach: a 12.5 m heavy-duty turntable with Turner Fleischer Architects for Fitzrovia and Hazelview, so the truck always exits forward.

Boutique infill. Toronto, ON

Boutique parking across split levels.

Challenge: secured parking for a boutique infill building with mixed level conditions. Approach: Parklift 461 and 413 stackers combined to suit each bay, with Audax for Curated Properties.

17spaces, completed 2016
Puzzle system. Toronto, ON

Maximum density in a slim footprint.

Challenge: recover the most parking possible from a narrow Christie Street plate. Approach: the Combilift 543 puzzle system shifts and stacks to use every metre, with RAW Design for Zink Developments.
