Open space is an optional yet important feature of the sample complex, as it will be used for vehicle circulation and parking. Although development of open parking spaces will result in additional capital investment for the PPP proponent, this option is still cheaper than others, such as basement or elevated parking. A parking area is essential for the commercial shopping center.
The total open space available for this sample project is 10,500 square meters, 3,500 square meters (or 35 percent) of which can accommodate 200 vehicles. The remaining 7,000 square meters will be reserved for driveways, sidewalks and green area (landscaping). The STP required for a project of this size can be located under the parking spaces.
