SAN FRANCISCO — WhereiPark, the leading platform for innovative parking solutions in the U.S., has announced securing its 10th major data center location, collaborating with one of the country’s top 10 construction companies. This development will create over 300 new parking spots within a three-mile radius of the construction site, ensuring seamless access for employees and subcontractors as the project intensifies.
Since its expansion into the data center sector in 2021, WhereiPark has provided over 4,000 parking spaces and deployed shuttle services to support large-scale construction efforts. The demand for these services continues to soar, spurred by a record-breaking $31.5 billion investment in U.S. data center construction in 2024.
Addressing the Parking Challenges in Data Center Development
“Data centers are very unique in that they are vast in scale, but require minimal staffing once operational,” explained Joshua Eisen, Chief Revenue Officer at WhereiPark. “This creates a major parking shortage during the construction phase, when hundreds of workers need daily access to the site—but since parking is not an integral part of the development, it can be scarce.”
WhereiPark addresses this challenge by ensuring strategically placed parking spaces located just minutes from the construction site, significantly cutting down commute times and ensuring the project stays on track.
Empowering Construction Firms with Efficient Solutions
WhereiPark provides a free search service designed to help construction project managers and estimators quickly secure parking and shuttle services for anywhere from 10 to 1,000+ workers. The platform's service eliminates the time-consuming process of sourcing, negotiating, and handling administrative tasks. With over 15,000 parking locations globally, clients benefit from exclusive spaces at discounted rates.
For firms in the bidding phase, WhereiPark’s precise parking cost estimates help avoid expensive errors, tighten bid pricing, reduce financial risks, and improve the likelihood of securing contracts by lowering parking expenses.
“We’re proud to support America’s construction firms as they help the world’s leading technology companies expand their cloud and AI infrastructure, driving the need for more data storage and processing power,” said Eisen. “While our largest projects are in Northern Virginia—just outside Washington, D.C.—as well as California, Texas, and Georgia, we’re also working with firms across the U.S. and Canada. WhereiPark is committed to assisting construction companies in every region we serve.”
WhereiPark leverages underused parking facilities from various property types to cut down on the need for new infrastructure, ultimately minimizing the environmental impact of new parking developments.
