Universal Parking Secures Key Contracts in Florida, Boosting Local Economies

Universal Parking has recently secured parking management contracts for two major mixed-use developments in Florida, signaling a strategic expansion within the state. These contracts encompass parking operations at The Central in Downtown St. Petersburg and Wynwood Plaza in Miami, both of which play a crucial role in enhancing community engagement and bolstering local economies.

At The Central, a project that adds 540 new parking spaces to St. Petersburg's EDGE District, Universal Parking's partnership with Ellison Development is set to meet the area's increasing parking demands. The garage, equipped with EV charging stations and offering 24/7 access, is a key element of the project's initial phase, which also features a hotel, office tower, and affordable housing. This development is anticipated to greatly improve the district's accessibility and economic dynamism.

In Miami, the parking garage at Wynwood Plaza, providing 645 spaces, is an essential part of a 1 million square foot mixed-use campus aimed at fostering creativity and sustainability. Collaborating with Evolution Parking and Guest Services, Universal Parking is poised to offer a parking experience that reflects the innovative ethos of Wynwood Place, serving tenants, residents, and visitors effectively.

Tim Walsh, President and CEO of Universal Parking, highlighted the company's dedication to improving the parking experience and ensuring the enduring success of these developments. Through the integration of technology and strategies focused on customer satisfaction, Universal Parking seeks to make access to these lively communities more effortless, thereby encouraging more individuals to live, work, and explore these locales.
