Downtown condos invest in double-decker parking

ST. PETERSBURG - Architect Tim Clemmons has installed a novel parking solution in his condominium development at 475 Second St. N.
Wanting to build 22 units with more than one parking space each, but lacking a lot that would allow a ramp for a multilevel parking garage, Clemmons installed a dozen $10,000 Klaus stacking lifts. Drivers put one car on a lift and another beneath, but can't remove the top car without moving the bottom one, too. The lifts are the only ones in such a building in the Tampa Bay area, Clemmons said, but are popular in New York and overseas.
Clemmons is testing the units before owners of the $450,000 to $700,000 condos start moving in this month.
