KLAUS Multiparking America announced that its President/CEO, Christopher Tiessen, was recently featured on the Construction Champions Podcast, hosted by Ron Nussbaum.
In the episode, Mr. Tiessen and Mr. Nussbaum explore the real-world challenges currently shaping the American construction and development landscape—and how mechanical and automated parking systems are helping project teams respond more effectively. The discussion centers on the practical realities facing developers, architects, engineers, and owners, including rising construction costs, limited urban land availability, zoning and entitlement pressures, and the increasing need to maximize building efficiency.
Throughout the conversation, Mr. Tiessen highlights how parking requirements often play a decisive role in project feasibility, cost control, and unit yield—particularly in dense urban environments. As traditional parking structures become more expensive and space-intensive, the episode examines how alternative parking strategies can support more efficient development outcomes.
Key Topics Discussed Include:
- Challenges unique to the U.S. multifamily and commercial development market
- How parking requirements influence project feasibility, cost, and unit count
- Why conventional parking structures are becoming increasingly inefficient
- How mechanical and automated parking systems can reduce excavation, control costs, and increase usable space
- The importance of integrating parking solutions early in the design process
As land values continue to rise and cities push for greater density, parking has become one of the most complex—and costly—components of development projects. This episode underscores how rethinking parking design can help project teams navigate these pressures while delivering smarter, more efficient solutions tailored to the U.S. market.
