The Ins And Outs Of Multi-Tenant Parking
High-speed doors enhance parking experience at high-end Houston complex.
T
he upscale Mosaic on Hermann Park in
Houston's Museum District stands out
among the many luxury residences in the
city. It is one of the largest complexes in the metro
area and offers just about every amenity imaginable,
including 24/7 concierge and valet services, the
largest high-rise wellness center in the city, and an
outdoor infinity pool. The units themselves feature
private balconies, stylish chef 's kitchens, and dramatic city views through 10-ft.-high floor-to-ceiling
windows.
The building's 30-story twin towers are topped
with a luxury penthouse as well as retail at street
level. One tower is for rentals; the other has condos.
A high-end complex means high-end vehicles fill
the building's four-level parking garage. According
to Don Johnson, general manager, their old-style
garage doors leading in and out of the parking garage meant "we had cars and motorcycles stolen."
"After we put in the Rytec, Jackson, WI, Spiral
doors all of that ceased," Johnson said.

complexes in the metro area.
Below. The Rytec Spiral door operates at a high speed of more than 100 in./sec. and fully closes behind a vehicle in less than two sec.
The Mosaic posed temptation to criminals, and
their invitation had been a slowly opening parking-garage door. As the door crept open, an intruder
could slip into the building behind the resident's
vehicle. Since the doorway was wide-open for such
a long period of time, the criminal was able to follow behind.
In contrast, the Spiral door operates at a high
speed of more than 100 in./sec. It fully closes behind a vehicle in less than 2 sec. and features
heavy-aluminum slat panels. Together, these discourage uninvited access and encourage the bad
guys to pass by the building and the garage entrance.
The best part is that residents do not think about
the kind of protection the door speed provides. As
Johnson put it, "with the Rytec doors you are talking
zoom up and zoom down, which has given us a better sense of security here at the property."
While the doors might take the residents' minds
off security, most people today are also time-starved;
everyone's thoughts are on the clock. With the Spiral doors, residents appreciate that they don't have to
