Parkin Company has signed a strategic partnership with SP Corporation Car Parking Management (Secure Parking) to accelerate the rollout of barrierless parking across the UAE.

The partnership builds on the successful deployment of a fully integrated, barrierless parking system at City Walk in Dubai, which is now fully operational. Building on this success, the companies have identified a potential pipeline of over 60,000 parking spaces across the UAE for future collaboration.

This growth underscores the increasing demand for more efficient parking solutions and reinforces the partnership as one of the region’s most significant initiatives in barrierless parking expansion.

The launch of Secure Parking and Parkin’s partnership at City Walk marks a key milestone in Parkin’s shift towards a fully digital, barrierless infrastructure. The new system replaces traditional gated entry with advanced vehicle recognition technology and integrated remote payments, eliminating physical barriers and providing seamless access.

Through the Parkin platform, motorists receive real-time confirmations, clear tariff visibility, and SMS notifications, supported by a structured grace period for payment.

As a high-profile urban destination, City Walk demonstrates Parkin’s ability to deploy scalable, technology-led solutions that improve traffic flow, enhance customer experience, and maintain full transparency and regulatory compliance in dense city environments.

In addition to barrierless infrastructure, the partnership will extend into the valet services segment, creating a fully integrated digital ecosystem spanning self-parking and premium parking experiences.

Customers will be able to pay for Secure Parking valet services through the Parkin app and digital wallet, enabling seamless transactions within the existing Parkin platform.

Secure Parking will also manage and operate select Parkin-branded valet locations, leveraging its international operational standards and established UAE presence to enhance service quality, operational consistency, and overall customer experience.

By integrating valet operations into Parkin’s digital payment ecosystem, the companies are creating a unified parking journey from entry to premium service, supported by real-time payments, digital transparency, and operational excellence. This expansion further strengthens the partnership’s positioning as one of the UAE’s most comprehensive and digitally integrated public-private mobility collaborations.
