The success of any shopping mall, especially the bigger ones, depends on not just the retail
Outlets. One of the many ingredients essential for footfalls to a mall is its parking facility. This is especially true for big malls in big cities, where the parking facility in a mall holds key to drawing crowds time and again.
A case in point is Bangalore’s hugely popular Orion Mall at the Brigade Gateway enclave,
lcoated in Malleswaram-Rajaji Nagar. The mall has a dedicated, hi-tech and well-planned parking area.
Expansive parking
The Orion Mall offers hassle- free single-level parking for over 3,500 cars and an equal number of two wheelers. Besides, there is back-up of a six-floor, multi-level car park available in the Brigade Gateway campus. This ensures that any spill-over from the mall parking is accommodated without inconveniencing the visitor.
The Parking area has a special polyurethane coating on the floor, thus enhancing the parking experience and also ensuring a skid-free drive for vehicles.
Technology-aided parking management
Modern technology is used at the mall’s parking area to track empty slots, thereby enabling parking management staff to make every slot available for the mall visitor.
The parking management system also includes software that handles the whole car park with single bay detection, including area and entry/exit counter management. The system also includes dynamic signs information. There are red and green indicative lights in each parking slot indicating the availability automatically.
Direct access to the road
A 35-ft-wide underground tunnel provides direct access to the main road from various parts of the campus. This tunnel not only ensures that all services to the Orion Mall happen underground, but also eases traffic on the roads.
