Developer Quintain is set to build what is thought to be Europe’s first multi-storey coach park as part of the regeneration of Wembley
The purpose-built complex will have 290 coach spaces over two levels at Wembley Park in north London. Additionally, a five-storey 734-space car park will be built above the coach complex.
The £41m project is being run by Huber Car Park Systems International, a German car park construction specialist, acting as project manager and principle designer.
With the groundworks now completed by O’Keefe under a £13m contract, Huber will lead on the above ground construction of the structure through to completion. Huber’s contract is worth £28m.
The architectural design of the parking complex was undertaken by Potter Church & Holmes and has taken inspiration from the Rubik’s Cube, using innovative engineering to ensure coaches, cars and pedestrians are able to co-exist.
At full capacity, the parking complex will accommodate up to 16,500 visitors, representing a major investment in parking for Wembley Stadium and the SSE Arena, Wembley, as well as the surrounding 85-acre development taking place at Wembley Park.
The coach park will span over two levels, each level with its own entrance. Coaches will be organised according to length, height and weight.
Matt Voyce, Executive Director (Construction) of Quintain, said: “We are very proud to be able to bring forward such a unique and innovative project at Wembley Park.
“Working closely with Huber, who has an excellent track record of delivering large scale parking solutions, we very much look forward to welcoming thousands of visitors to Europe’s first multi-story coach parking complex.”
