Since this is providing the required minimum parking for the existing retail on the north side of White Oak and the new retail on the south side, won't most of this need to be dedicated exclusively for those tenants?

Here's more on the automated parking garage at 2714 White Oak Dr in the Heights, Houston: This comes from their other company Verde Communities, which is their retail and apartment arm. In the near future, we expect to build Houston’s first fully automated (i.e. driverless) parking garage on the north side of White Oak. This will allow us to develop and provide *new retail and restaurant locations on the south side of White Oak which is currently used for parking cars * (the retail is what's being built at 2805 White Oak Dr, thread about that here) https://verdecommunities.com/commercial-projects/2808-white-oak-drive-houston-texas-77007-7/

But the main issue is not how fast the automated system can get a car parked. The main issue is how many cars can the system park/retrieve at one time? It looks like there would be only 2 or 3 lifts. That is like having a parking lot where only 2 or 3 cars can go in at one time and you have to wait for those cars to park before you can get into the parking lot. If you have 6-8 cars try to park while 3-4 people are trying to get their cars out, you are going to end up with a line for the garage which will cause people to skip the fee and look for street parking. It looks like the app will be used to prioritize incoming vehicles, which would help. But then people who need to leave will have to wait a long time and never want to use the system again.

Here's more on the automated parking garage at 2714 White Oak Dr in the Heights, Houston, Re:Vive Development (Revive Development) had plans for some kind of retail or commercial development here, but sold it to an entity under Chicago's Easy Park last year. This will become the site of the automated parking garage from EasyPark and U-Tron.The automated parking garage was first planned for 2912 White Oak Dr or 2920 White Oak Dr (more about it in the other thread here) 2805 White Oak Dr in the Heights, Houston. It will now be located at 2714 White Oak Drive. This comes from their other company Verde, which is their retail and apartment arm (I posted about this company in another thread): Further east on the north side of White Oak, we are developing an automated parking garage of more than 275 parking spaces. During the design process, we expanded the garage capacity given recent increases in commercial activity in this area of the Heights. https://verdecommunities.com/retail/

My understanding is that, in this case, the vendor IS the landlord. Either way, as long as the garage exists (and is in working order), the development is in compliance with Chapter 26, whether or not patrons opt to use it.

It seems like it will take no more time than it normally takes one to walk/find their car, get it, and drive out. From the video it actually looks like this will take way less time and be way more efficient. I'm all for maximizing ones autonomy to do what they want, but then there are instances where it doesn't make sense. Our current use of parking garages is one of those where I would be more in favor of something that maximizes efficiency. If we have the tech to do this then we should.

Here's more on the restaurant Karne (possibly?) and the rest of the new development at 2805 White Oak Dr in the Heights, Houston. This was updated recently. The development is named South Heights on White Oak and is from Easy Park in Chicago. This comes from their other company Verde, which is their retail and apartment arm (I posted about this company in another thread): Just across the street, we are under construction with a new building leased to a Korean restaurant opening its first restaurant outside of New York City. The seating area will include an outdoor patio cantilevered over the White Oak ravine. A chicken and waffle cones restaurant concept will also open in the building in 2020. We have a live camera on location and soon visitors to our web site can see ongoing construction in real time. https://verdecommunities.com/retail/ More on Karne From the Nexseed campaign for the restaurant. Karne is the upscale Korean barbecue restaurant coming to South Heights on White Oak . This is the new development from EasyPark and Verde.

It means blocking driveways, parking in no parking zones, and parking on a street with open drainage ditches by taking up about half the street because you do not want the rims on your X5 to get dirty (or you just are inept and cannot parallel park to save your life). On busy nights, people can really make a mess of the residential streets around White Oak. I usually have no sympathy for people who get bent out of shape about Coltivare. But every time I have had dinner there (I go at 5 pm to avoid the wait), I see some pretty unbelievable things people do with their cars instead of just going up another block or two to find a free space. Of course, the City should do much more to mitigate this by ramping up enforcement and restricting parking to one side of the street on the more narrow open ditch streets. But the city has done very little despite some very vocal residents. So, no, this is not about fussy neighbors who want to be able to park their car in front of their house every night. It is about a level of commercial density that is pushing a substantial amount of parking into the neighborhoods. Combine that with a very suburban and strip center oriented population, and you get a situation where residents are blocked in their driveways or cannot get down streets because of bad drivers on busy nights.

Originally posted by Visitor, September 27, 2018 in the thread for Automated Parking Garage In Development @ 2912 White Oak Drive. I'll reserve judgment on the fees until I see them. But I am always in favor of parking structures over street parking and the useless Houston valet. (Seriously irritating when all of the spaces are marked for valet and I have to tip someone for parking my car 10 ft from where I gave it to them) I do have concerns over the wait times both to enter and leave. What happens when some putz pays for his car from the app while at the bar and takes 20 minutes to get out there and leave? Hopefully there is a time limit and additional cost.

Originally posted by s3mh, September 27, 2018 in the thread for Automated Parking Garage In Development @ 2912 White Oak Drive. I wonder what the contractual relationship between the vendor and the landlord that owns the new retail development is like. My main concern about this parking concept (aside from architecture) is that the wait times to get in and out and the pricing will deter most people from using the garage. That will exacerbate the problems of illegal parking in residential neighborhoods and may cause the vendor for the garage to go out of business. Then what? The retail shops cannot stay open if the garage closes.

I'm not sure when this site map and site plan were uploaded by Hunington Properties, but it shows more details about Karne. Yesterday, I found a blurb on Verde's website (the retail arm for Easy Park) that Karne will be a Korean restaurant at the South Heights on White Oak. This is the new retail building under construction in the Heights at 2805 White Oak Dr. A marketing brochure for South Heights on White Oaks shows Karne as a Korean barbecue restaurant. The upload date in the url for the pdf file shows September 2018. It's possible this is old because the proposed automated parking garage is shown still on the site of 2912 White Oak Dr instead of the new site at 2714 White Oak Dr. https://www.hpiproperties.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/south-heights-on-white-oak.pdf

More on the automated robotic parking garage planned for 2912 White Oak Dr, between Tacos A Go A Go and Christian's Tailgate Bar in Houston. From Houston Chronicle: ..."The idea behind this is a valet experience without the valet," Yair Goldberg, executive vice president of sales and marketing for Unitronics, said. "The only interface the driver has with the system is through the entry compartment, which is the size of a two-car garage." The process works like this this: A driver pulls into a parking bay, takes the keys and exits the vehicle, initiating the parking process through an app or by pulling a parking ticket. Through a system of horizontal and vertical lifts, the car is then moved into a storage spot. The driver can retrieve the car through the app or after paying a parking fee, which triggers the automated system to load the vehicle from its spot and deliver it to its owner. Through the app, the driver is informed of the status of the vehicle, similar to how Uber notifies users of their driver's ETA. Taking out the human element allows more cars to be stored in smaller spaces -- sometimes a third of what would be required in a traditional garage, Goldberg said. The other Houston garage is planned on White Oak Drive in the Heights. It's expected to be able to store around 200 cars in a structure no taller than 75 feet and with a 6,500-square-foot footprint. ...U-tron will develop the systems for a Chicago-based development group. "U-tron's automated parking design enables us to develop and optimize both the commercial and residential aspects of our developments, while improving the return on investment and delivering a first-in-class parking experience" Jesse Levine, of Easy Park, the development company behind the projects, said in a statement. A video of how the garage will work is available in the Houston Chronicle article. https://www.houstonchronicle.com/business/real-estate/article/Futuristic-parking-garage-planned-for-inner-loop-13254850.php

More on the parking garage proposed for 2912 White Oak Dr, between Tacos A Go A Go and Christian's Tailgate Bar in Houston. From Swamplot in February: Last December a demolition permit was filed on the car hangar parked between Tacos A Go Go and Christian’s Tailgate on the north side of White Oak Dr. Now, a leasing flyer for a neighboring development indicates a new 244-car garage is proposed in place of the existing structure. But that lot measures only 100 by 140 ft. How could 244 parking spaces fit on a lot where fewer than 20 spots exist now? Well, what if the owner of the property was connected to Easy Park, a developer specializing in automated parking garages? An entity associated with the developer bought the garage at 2912 White Oak in 2016 along with the strip of 3 buildings around it — that includes Tacos A Go Go, Pho Binh Heights, and Lucky Food Mart to the west, and Barnaby’s Cafe and Public House Heights to the east. The Chicago-based company manufactures parts for automated parking developments, finances them, and operates them. It’s been involved in past projects in New York, Philadelphia, Vancouver, Washington D.C., and Mexico City. Here’s what a robo-valet with parts produced by Easy Park looks like inside The Lift at Juniper St., an 8-story, 228-car garage in Philadelphia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvQw7MBpb5Y http://swamplot.com/is-a-high-tech-taco-adjacent-parking-garage-coming-to-white-oak-dr/2018-02-26/
