The First in Poland
A fully automated public vertical parking system, an investment setting a new direction for future urban mobility projects across the country.
The construction of the vertical parking system in Katowice is the first public investment of its kind in Poland.

From 40 to 240 parking spaces
One location. Completely new possibilities.
The same location on Tylna Mariacka Street in Katowice.
- The first public automated car park in Poland
- Polish GVP technology
- 85% of the space recovered for the city
- A modern solution for the city centre
The first fully automated public parking system in Poland, and one of the first in Europe, powered by GRAND VERTICAL PARKING technology. Located in Katowice, this automated urban parking facility represents a breakthrough in the way cities approach mobility and space optimization. Two interconnected systems, consisting of 12 and 8 machines, create a modern parking complex that proves Polish technology can set new standards on a European scale.

Fast installation and the modular design of GVP systems
Every example of a car park built with GVP machines starts with a solid foundation that carries the load of the system together with the parked vehicles. Prefabricated steel structural modules are delivered to the prepared base and assembled directly on site, unlike traditional reinforced concrete buildings, which take months to construct. The parking platforms are then installed, the drives and controls are connected, and the whole system goes through commissioning and the technical acceptance that approves it for use. Prefabrication keeps the process efficient and limits the disruption to the surroundings, which is particularly important for projects in already built-up areas. The modular design also allows machines to be placed side by side or back to back, creating larger parking clusters with shared cladding and controls.
Integration of smart software and controls
Every professional example of a car park built with GVP machines relies on an advanced traffic management system that optimises the waiting time for a vehicle to be retrieved. Modern software coordinates the drives and platforms and learns the hours when residents or employees use the car park most. Investors can also implement remote control and mobile payment systems, making the facility fully autonomous and unattended. Advanced online diagnostics allow continuous monitoring of the technical condition of the machines, ensuring the car park keeps running and enabling a quick service response as part of preventive maintenance of the entire system.
Aesthetics and customised exterior design
Another important aspect of the investment is how an example of a car park built with GVP machines fits into the local architecture and urban landscape. These systems offer great flexibility in facade finishing, so the steel structure can be clad with almost any material, from composite panels and glass to the increasingly popular living greenery. As a result, the car park is no longer just a utilitarian technical structure but becomes an attractive element of modern infrastructure. The ability to customise colours and the external form means that Grand Vertical Parking solutions are often chosen by architects who want to maintain a consistent aesthetic vision for an entire urban complex.
Space optimisation and the maximum number of parking spaces
The key reason why an example of a car park built with GVP machines outperforms traditional solutions is the dramatic increase in land-use efficiency. Where a standard surface car park would hold only two cars, Grand Vertical Parking systems can safely store from 6 to 16 vehicles. GVP engineers design the layout of the machines precisely to eliminate the need for wide manoeuvring lanes or access ramps, which take up valuable space in conventional multi-storey car parks. This allows investors to achieve their business goals even on very narrow or irregular plots, where building standard infrastructure would be physically impossible or economically unjustified.
Vehicle security and user comfort in automated systems
Every example of a car park built with GVP machines puts the security of property first, which is a major advantage for developers and owners of premium buildings. Unlike open car parks, cars on GVP platforms are physically inaccessible to unauthorised persons, which practically eliminates the risk of theft, vandalism or accidental scrapes caused by other drivers. The user leaves the car in a safe entry zone, and the transport to the target parking bay is fully automated and controlled by the machine. This approach not only protects the bodywork from external factors, but also significantly raises the prestige of the investment in the eyes of its future users.
Environmental aspects and sustainable parking infrastructure
A modern example of a car park built with GVP machines supports the environmental strategy of today's cities by reducing the carbon footprint and limiting smog. Because parking is automated, drivers do not have to circle the car park with the engine running in search of a free space, which directly reduces exhaust emissions and noise in the immediate vicinity of residential buildings. In addition, GVP systems have drives with low power consumption. The use of steel, which according to the Rzeszów University of Technology can be up to 95 percent recovered, makes Grand Vertical Parking technology an environmentally friendly solution that supports the development of sustainable, smart cities of the future.
