There's also a 15-level garage in Fort Worth next to the Carter+Burgess Plaza.
Also, don't remember where (Japan?) (Korea?) there's a cylindrical storage garage for new cars with a elevator in the middle that's pretty tall.

You mean the VW Car Garage thing? Isn't that in Germany?

Detroit has a few tall ones. Greektown Casino garage is 13 levels, and I believe there is one that's 11 levels. Huntsville has one that has 8 levels of parking, and that's tall for such a small city.

Some of the first Storeys of the John Hancock Center in Chicago serve as a parking structure. It can be accessed via a concrete spiral ramp beside the tower.

Tallest one in Edmonton is around 7 stories. Ho-hum.

But, that's what a parking garage/structure is: a place to store cars, regardless of what they are being stored for. VW's garage may have an interesting storage usage, but it's not less a parking garage.

I believe that NYC has one parking garage that uses similar techniques to park your car as the Volkswagen's parking storage. Just drive it in, get out, and the garage goes through its motions. I don't know how tall it is, however.

It's really not that tall. Ten levels (9 and a half, I think), and just over 100 feet. Not even the tallest in Detroit.

That VW garage is really something. It doesn't seem that necessary but is definitely cool.

The tallest parking garage in LA is about 17-stories tall with another 20-stories above. It's a commercial office building that was never really occupied by anyone. It sat vacant for about twenty years, IIRC. Yeah, it actually sat DARK without any lights for that long. It looked totally weird in the LA skyline because this building was just black at night.

Then Forest City bought it and developed it into market-rate residential units, taking advantage of the real estate boom and Downtown LA renaissance. So today, people live in it and there's a pool top of the parking garage. Last I heard, pretty much all 200-something units have been sold.

Hotels in Vegas seem to have some pretty high or at least massive garages. Instead of spiraling up them though most use a ramp that goes straight through the garage, almost like a hill with stop signs at every bump. I believe we parked on the 13th floor of one the other day at Planet Hollywood.

That thing in Germany is AWESOME!

As for tallest parking garage: Someone will surely build a 100 story garage in Dubai soon, I would think.
