Our parking lot is similar to that, but instead of having one car up in the air all the time, one is underground. You press a button and it brings the lower car up to street level.
We don`t use them though- our condo has a normal "ground" spot.

This isn't just done at a company parking lot. Many condos and even stores in Japan have something like this. Sometimes those lots have attendants that can move the lower car. But I've seen these lots in places where there were no apparent attendants. At Condos, I think both spaces may be owned by one household, so it is up to them to get the bottom car out of the way, but other than that I've never been able to figure it out.
When I've seen a parking lot like this, I've ALWAYS parked on the bottom and I try to find a spot that doesn't have a car on top.
