Nicholas Frezza, Assoc. AIA Parking Consultant in Walker Consultants’ New York Office and Automation Technologies Leader for Walker.
Mr. Frezza has been with Walker for ten years and worked for another parking specialist firm for several years before. His projects include consulting projects to help clients solve specific design challenges, as well as project management of new structures through all phases of design and through construction. Mr. Frezza has worked in Walker’s Dubai office as well as New York; in the Dubai office he worked on development projects for new neighborhoods, integrating parking into complex larger networks of vehicular and pedestrian circulation, as well as working on underground and podium parking systems with thousands of parking spaces that he integrated into larger campus circulation and structural grids. With a background in architecture, Mr. Frezza is a key resource for code analyses, particularly as they relate to ADA parking requirements. Additionally, he has taken a strong interest in parking technologies, including space-saving automated (“robotic”) parking systems. Mr. Frezza is Walker’s leader for automated parking, providing input on projects all over the country. Mr. Frezza was named as one of the National Parking Association’s “40 Under 40” in 2018.
David Vander Wal PE
David Vander Wal, PE Senior Vice President in Walker Consultants’ New York Office
Mr. Vander Wal has been with Walker for over 30 years, serving as a senior project manager as well as in managerial capacities.
