The Emirates Financial Towers signs contract to build the largest automated car parking facility in the world

This system is planned to contain 1,200 fully automated parking spaces and will be the largest of its kind worldwide.

Designed by US firm Robotic Parking Systems, patrons of the EFT will have at their service a technological marvel that takes the problem of parking out of their hands and into the hands of computers.

'Within classical terms, the Emirates Financial Towers is by all means a futuristic building in both look and design.' said Mr. Hani Abu Auida, EFT Chief Executive Officer. 'With this technology, an individual will not need to drive through the garage to find a parking space. You simply drive your car into one of the multiple entry exit stations and leave your car to be picked up by the computerized machines (Robots) that will park it inside the building on a shelving system.'

He added:

'This is true premium valet parking for everyday use, using state of the art technology instead, leaving your car safe from break-ins and accidents or dents and scratches that are usually the risk of parking in large car parks'.

The Robotic System utilized in EFT addresses the growing parking problem in the UAE by providing more than twice the number of parking spaces compared to a conventional car park in the same space.

Speaking of the new system, Mr. Royce Monteverdi of Robotic Systems said, 'The Robotic Parking system is environmentally friendly and shows the dedication we have in helping the environment since it eliminates exorbitant high volume of emissions produced by vehicles inside a car park, while circulating when trying to find a space inside the garage. It is an active contribution to combat the effects of Global Warming and I welcome and appreciate the visions of EFT'.

'The state of the art amenities that we will be offering, coupled with the unique architectural design of the Emirates Financial Towers, is an illustrative example of how progressive the UAE is, and an example of the intrepid advancement taking place in this part of the Middle East.' concluded Mr. Hani Abu Auida.

Based in the DIFC, the ultra-modern Emirates Financial Towers is planned to be a mix-use building that presents Grade-a office space, in a contemporary and ground-breaking design. Coalescing premier commercial and housing space, the architects of the EFT structure have created a distinctive design that features a unique elliptical profile with an embedded translucent sky bridge, allowing it to be unmistakably noticeable against the Dubai skyline.
