GIFT City All Set To Have Multi Level Parkings For 5000 Cars

After becoming India’s first International Financial Services Centre, the GIFT City in Gujarat’s Gandhi Nagar is all set for another major makeover. The GIFT City plans to develop three multilevel car parkings to initially accommodate 5,000 cars as the Greenfield smart city's haphazard parking of automobiles is a major problem. 

It may be noted that there are currently around 20,000 people employed across a number of businesses in GIFT City, which also serves as home to India's first IFSC. To travel to GIFT City, the majority of these employees use their own cars. Visitors and employees are compelled to park their cars on the side of the road or in vacant lots due to a lack of parking spaces.

According to the GIFT City officials, they are attracting private investors to build multi level car parkings in the city to accommodate 5,000 cars. Since it is a vertical city, the space above the car parking will be utilised for commercial purposes.”

The first multi level parking structure's project has been given to Gandhinagar-based Nakshatra Group out of the six bidders who submitted proposals. Near GIFT One, the first high-rise building of the project that was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in January 2013 while he was the chief minister of Gujarat, the first multilevel park with space for 1,150 automobiles would be constructed.

In the proposed high-rise skyscraper, the private developer will offer five levels of parking, including two on each of the first and first floors and three in the basement. In addition to the three or two floors of basement parking that are offered in each of the 16 high-rise buildings built in GIFT City, these multilevel car parks are also available. Only the first multi-story buildings built in the project, the GIFT One and GIFT Two towers, contain more than one basement.
