Never underestimate the value of a basement car park!

Basement Car Park
We were recently contacted by a town planner who was in the middle of preparing a feasibility assessment for a proposed mixed-use development in Ivanhoe.

The client wanted to purchase the next door property to their shop to build 9 x 2-bed apartments and to retain the two shops in the ground floor.

Client had almost given up on the idea. Why? The property is 16m x 38m, they thought it’s too small to fit this many apartments and a car park.

Luckily, they rang us. Guess what they never thought of? A basement car park!
Yes, it seems very complex. But imagine the ‘Cost vs Benefit’ of converting a block of land into 9 2-bed apartments plus two shops? That too, in Ivanhoe!

We were able to do a functional layout of a basement car park with 13 generous car parking spaces, and had 4 spare spaces for visitors, with a staircase, a lift and lockers!

2 days ago, owners had a block of land 16 x 38 with two old shops. Fast forward two days, they are now building 9 apartments in Ivanhoe!

Talk to a traffic engineer. We can always help!
