CityLift Parking Secures $22.5M Series C Funding

CityLift Parking ("CityLift"), the leading provider of automated parking lifts in the U.S., announced it has completed its Series C capital round with Dundon Capital Partners, LLC ("DCP"). The investment is the largest completed for any U.S. automated parking lift company in the market today. Specific terms of the transaction were not disclosed. CityLift plans to use funds to accelerate its growth and invest in technology innovation to address the rapidly growing automated parking lift industry. John Zutter, Jason Kulas and Jeff Vanderbilt from DCP will be joining CityLift's Board.

"We are delighted to be partnering with DCP," says Scott Gable, CEO and co-founder of CityLift Parking. "This investment is a vote of confidence in CityLift as the leading player in the future of parking."

This funding builds on an exceptional year for CityLift. CityLift was recognized by Inc. Magazine as the 66th fastest growing company in the United States and the fourth fastest growing company in the construction industry. With its CityLift Puzzle™ design, CityLift became the only company approved for semi-automated parking lift systems in Los Angeles. It completed the largest project in the country, a 235-space project in Oakland, CA, and the first 5-level puzzle lift in the U.S., in Nashville, TN. The company is building the first fully automated system in the Pacific Northwest and the first parking lift system in Salt Lake City.

"DCP's experience with rapidly growing companies complements CityLift's current capabilities and will allow it to expand into new markets and attract new customers," says Mike Ghielmetti, CityLift Board Member and co-founder.

The funding is also well timed to catch the industry growth wave. Automated parking lifts are rapidly being accepted by cities, developers, architects and builders as a means to use less space, build faster, and reduce cost versus building conventional parking.

"CityLift has demonstrated itself as a clear market leader in the parking space and fits well with our focus on opportunities with strong leadership, attractive and sustainable margins and secular growth trends. We are excited to partner with Scott and Mike and the team going forward," says John Zutter, Partner of Dundon Capital Partners. Mr. Zutter will be joining CityLift's Board as its Chairman.
