University Station, a premier apartment complex located in the heart of The City Hollywood, Florida, and managed by Housing Trust Group (HTG), has chosen TKH Security (formerly Park Assist) to implement an advanced parking management system, enhancing the convenience and security of its residents and visitors.
University Station is a thriving community centre and home to 216 apartments, more than 2,000 square feet of commercial and retail space, and 12,210 square feet of educational space. Recognising the need for a state-of-the-art parking solution, HTG Management selected the Park Assist Solution, an industry-leading automated parking guidance system (APGS), to optimise space utilisation, improve traffic flow, and elevate the overall parking experience at University Station.
The apartment complex and management sought a smart parking solution that could seamlessly integrate with their modern residential complex while providing an intuitive, user-friendly experience. With increasing demand for efficient and secure parking, the property management team recognised the Park Assist solution’s proven track record in delivering innovative, data-driven solutions. The decision was solidified by APGS’s ability to offer a scalable and future-ready system tailored to meet the complex’s needs today and in years to come.
“The University Station team is dedicated to providing residents with the best possible living experience, and that extends to parking,” said Thomas Alexander, Regional Account Executive. “By implementing our cutting-edge parking management system, we’re enhancing safety, security, and convenience, making parking a seamless part of daily life.”
The University Station parking facility consists of one garage spanning five floors. Designed to serve the diverse needs of residents and their guests, and visitors to the public spaces, the garage required a parking solution that balances efficiency, security, and ease of use.
The Park Assist Solution brings together answers to each of those concerns in a single, highly effective parking guidance system. The heart of this installation, the camera-based M5 smart sensor, is a sophisticated solution designed to provide guided navigation through the facility and 24/7 monitoring.
The M5 sensor utilises dual CMOS digital cameras to monitor up to six spaces at once with over 99% accuracy, significantly improving traffic flow and minimizing congestion in the parking facility. Its colour-coded LED indicators help drivers quickly locate available spots, with green signifying an open space and red indicating that none are available. According to the company, this advanced technology has been shown to reduce parking search time by up to 63%, significantly improving traffic flow and minimizing congestion within the garage.
The Park Assist solution at University Station also includes VMS signage, comprehensive video monitoring of the spaces and the area, LPR, and INX-Core software provides real-time and historical data offering valuable insights and trend information.
“The addition of an APGS aligns with University Station’s commitment to providing a modern, resident-focused living experience. As The City of Hollywood, Florida, continues to grow and evolve—celebrating its centennial and embracing innovative urban development—University Station remains at the forefront of smart residential solutions,” said Alexander.
