PARQEX CLIENT SPOTLIGHT


THE SITUATION
Before ParqEx, the property had no centralized parking system in place, making it difficult to manage tenant registration or optimize occupancy. The property had no revenue-generating model for parking, it lacked enforcement and access control to prevent and penalize unauthorized vehicles, and did not have visibility into usage data or occupancy trends. The management team needed a fast, low-friction roll-out that would accommodate tenants and offer real-time control.
THE RESULTS
In just five months, ParqEx has helped Academy at Drexel Court launch a fully digital parking solution, achieve nearly full occupancy, generate and grow parking revenue month-over-month, and offer a better resident experience and gain operational oversight. With tenant usage strong and revenue climbing, the property is on track for sustained, long-term parking profitability.
- 87% occupancy rate: 90 active parkers, 104 spots
- $1,265 new revenue generated in the first two months
- +278% increase in revenue over the last 90 days
- 708 reservations in 90 days (+88% vs. previous period)
- Revenue nearly tripling month-over-month
- Transaction volume ramping up sharply
- 96.67% of transactions are monthly
- High adoption among residents

A complete parking and internal management tech stack

ParqEx implemented its Internal Tenant Management system to provide seamless tenant registration and space assignment. ParqEx Marketplace was set up to create a new stream of monetization for unused parking spaces.
To solve the property’s problem with unauthorized vehicles parking on-site, ParqEx unleashed its Enforcer suite of tools.
This complete solution allowed management to maintain a clear distinction between authorized resident use and public parking while monetizing excess inventory.
“ParqEx gave us instant control over our parking operation. What used to be a blind spot is now one of the most organized and high-performing parts of our property. Their customer support and responsiveness are just as impressive as the revenue we’ve begun to generate.”
