PARQEX CLIENT SPOTLIGHT


THE SITUATION
Lincoln Park Plaza encountered several significant challenges. The property’s public parking assets were underutilized, and there was no clear strategy in place to monetize spaces for either transient visitors or long-term users. Additionally, the absence of enforcement technology and a streamlined access control system created operational inefficiencies. These issues were further compounded by frustrations from residents, who were increasingly dissatisfied with the lack of regulation and oversight in internal parking areas.
THE RESULTS
With the power of ParqEx’s tech-driven parking solutions, Lincoln Park Plaza went from underperforming parking lots to high-performing, revenue-generating assets. ParqEx helped the property achieve over $670K in combined revenue, occupancy optimization of 76% (public) & 62% (private), data-driven decision-making through live dashboards, seamless, LPR-based access for tenants and the public, and real ROI through operational savings + recurring income.

Lincoln Park Plaza Seeks Full-Service Parking Transformation For Their Mixed-Use Property
A complete parking and internal management solution
ParqEx implemented a comprehensive full-stack parking technology suite across both garages to address Lincoln Park Plaza’s challenges. This included the Marketplace platform, which enabled the listing and monetization of underused parking spaces.
Access+ was deployed to provide secure, touchless entry through license plate recognition (LPR) technology, and the Enforcer app equipped staff with the ability to monitor and manage parking violations effectively.
“Lincoln Park Plaza’s transition with ParqEx has been nothing short of transformational. We’ve turned idle assets into real income, improved the resident experience, and given our management team full control. ParqEx’s tech has made parking a strategic advantage for us.”
