In the context of increasingly crowded cities like Hanoi, the demand for safe and modern parking spaces has become one of the top priorities for real estate developers. In 2020, Tan Phat ETEK officially delivered and put into operation the largest automated parking system in Vietnam at the high-end urban area Vinhomes Symphony – Long Bien, Hanoi, featuring nearly 1,000 mechanical parking spaces. This groundbreaking project not only affirmed Tan Phat ETEK’s reputation in the field of automation but also elevated the modern living standards for Vinhomes residents.
Context & Challenges
Vinhomes Symphony is a complex consisting of 5 apartment towers and 1 office tower with over 1,500 high-end apartments. Located at a strategic intersection of two major roads, Chu Huy Mân – Hội Xá, the project attracts attention not only for its infrastructure and landscape but also for its comprehensive amenities.
However, with a total parking area of 19,000 m², the capacity is only about 400–450 car spaces. This number is insufficient to meet the demand of residents and visitors, posing significant challenges:
- How to increase the number of parking spaces without expanding the area?
- How to efficiently manage nearly 1,000 cars daily while ensuring absolute safety?
- How to provide residents with a convenient, fast, and modern parking experience?

Our Solution: Automated Puzzle Parking System
To address these challenges, Tan Phat ETEK designed and implemented a semi-automated puzzle parking system, one of the most advanced technologies available today.
- Applied technology: Mechanical puzzle parking with 2-tier and 3-tier stacking, using 2-layer and 3-layer blocks.
- Deployment scale: 910 mechanical parking spaces – the largest in Vietnam as of 2020.
- Construction duration: 210 days, completed on schedule after nearly 7 months.
- Intelligent management software: Developed by Tan Phat ETEK engineers, the system allows operators to monitor vehicle entries and exits, track revenue, and manage parking spaces efficiently.
Thanks to automation technology, residents only need simple system operations, and their cars are quickly placed into available spots, eliminating the hassle of searching for a space as in traditional parking lots.
Achieved Results
After being put into operation, the largest automated parking system in Vietnam at Vinhomes Symphony has demonstrated outstanding effectiveness:
- Optimized space usage: Thanks to the puzzle parking technology, the number of parking spaces is doubled compared to traditional lots of the same area.
- Efficient management: The system automatically manages nearly 1,000 parking spaces, allowing easy tracking of vehicle entries and exits, with transparent reporting.
- Time-saving for residents: No need to search for a spot—just press a button, and the car is automatically placed in a safe position.
- Reduced operating costs: Less manpower is required for parking management, optimizing operational expenses.
- Absolute safety: Vehicles are stored in mechanical blocks, minimizing risks of collisions, theft, or damage.
- Environmentally friendly: Reduced driving and searching for parking spots contribute to lower emissions.
Project Significance
The Vinhomes Symphony automated parking project not only provides a smart parking solution for residents but also represents a milestone for Tan Phat ETEK:
- The largest-scale automated parking project in Vietnam at the time of delivery.
- The first project under the Vinhomes brand, opening a new direction for applying automation technology in high-end urban developments
- Affirms Tan Phat ETEK’s capability in full-cycle design, manufacturing, and installation for large-scale projects.
Conclusion
The largest automated parking system in Vietnam at Vinhomes Symphony serves as a testament to the sustainable development trend of modern urban areas—where technology becomes the foundation for enhancing quality of life. With the success of this project, Tan Phat ETEK continues to assert its pioneering position in smart parking solutions and automation in Vietnam.
