Development ROI Estimator
With TAPCO, your project could gain this in net value
In this market, TAPCO's edge comes from land efficiency, not upfront construction cost. The recovered footprint adds significant value — adjust the land slider below.
Answer 5 quick questions to see exactly what you could save.
1How many parking spaces does your project need?
Type the number of spaces your project needs
2Which TAPCO system?
Attended
Double Car Mechanical Stacker
$9K–$15K / unit (2 spaces)
Best for surface lots & car collectors. Low Capex & Opex, fast ROI.
No Attendant
Semi-Automated
$20K–$30K / space (spaces vary by configuration)
Puzzle parking system. Independent user access — no attendants needed. Ideal for multifamily & office.
System cost: $6,000/space (avg $12K per unit ÷ 2 spaces) + $20,000/space superstructure = $26,000/space total. Based on TAPCO installed project averages — contact us for a site-specific quote.
3What city is this project in? Source: UCLA/RLB Feb 2026 ↗
4What type of parking are you comparing against? Underground ≈ 40% more costly
Traditional alternative: $52,000/space
🏗 Land freed up by TAPCO's smaller footprint
A traditional parking space needs ~330 sq ft of land. TAPCO uses 40% less — and that freed space has real dollar value, on top of what you already saved on construction.
5What is your land value per sq ft? $0 — not included
$0 — exclude land $1,000/sq ft
Spaces needed
× 330 sq ft/space (industry standard)
× 40% footprint reduction (TAPCO vs. traditional)
× Your land value per sq ft
= Recovered land value
The 40% underground premium is a UCLA 2025 national average. Your actual cost may be higher. Contact TAPCO for a site-specific estimate.
