City Of Yonkers Parking Garage

O&S Associates with GRAD Associates designed the 600 car “Buena Vista” municipal parking structure for the City of Yonkers. This self-park, public parking facility was designed with a long span (column free parking bays) and an attractive exterior façade, which blended into the historic waterfront area in Yonkers. The $9.0 million dollar Buena Vista parking facility was also designed to meet the budgetary constraints of the City.

Our firm was selected in 2001 to redesign and value engineer the Buena Vista Parking Garage for the City of Yonkers to reduce the cost of construction by 1.5 million dollars. Our firm completed the value engineering study and redesigned the parking garage, resulting in a 14% project saving to the City of Yonkers.

O&S Associates also supervised construction of the 600 car Parking Structure and 5,000 square feet of new office space for the Yonkers Parking Authority in Yonkers, New York. The cost per car for this new parking structure was about $12,450.00 per space including site work, foundation, structural steel framing, concrete floors, ornate architectural precast concrete façade, concrete stairs, fire protection system, mechanical ventilation for below grade level, lighting interior/exterior and revenue control equipment.
