A commercial vacancy in a high-demand area for parking
In early 2020, Stride’s property at 80 Greys Ave had a commercial vacancy. The vacancy included 42 parking bays, which were sitting vacant in the Auckland CBD. The property is walking distance from major commuter zones including Aotea Centre and Karangahape Road, and has very high demand for parking.
Filling vacant parking space with Parkable
In February 2020, Stride Commercial Asset Manager Glenn Dyer implemented Parkable as a solution. 42 parking spots were listed on Parkable as subscription parks for long-term use, and within 4 weeks, every park was filled.
Another improvement came in mid-2020, when Parkable’s Bluetooth gate access feature was introduced at 80 Greys Ave. Instead of using a pin code to gain access, parkers could now open the gates using the Parkable app on their phone.
As well as creating a more seamless experience for parkers while maintaining security, Bluetooth gate access enabled another benefit for Stride. Whenever the long-term subscribers didn’t need to park for the day, they could easily ‘share’ their park with the rest of the Parkable community via the app. This allowed another person to pay to park in the same space on an hourly or daily basis, generating additional car park revenue.

Sharing and access solutions lead to supernormal revenue
Since implementing Parkable, Stride’s unleased car parks at 80 Greys Ave have been fully occupied. Typical peak occupancy is 109% on days when subscribers share their parks with the Parkable community; whenever a park at 80 Greys Ave is shared, there is a high likelihood that another Parkable member will park there. This ability to share parks, enabled via Parkable’s access control solution, generates supernormal revenue for Stride.
Parkable is also flexible, so that whenever a long-term parker ends their subscription, their car park is made available to the rest of the Parkable community for hourly and daily parking until the next long-term parker begins the next subscription. This ensures that there are no gaps in occupancy and revenue generation. Even during Auckland’s lockdowns, 95% is the lowest occupancy level to date.
