The technology disclosed herein relates to a rooftop platform (202,302,402) to facilitate a delivery of a parcel by an aerial vehicle. The rooftop (202,302,402) platform may comprise an elevator (220, 320, 520) apparatus at least partially accessible via the rooftop platform. The rooftop platform may also comprise a rotatable turntable (210, 310, 410) mounted to the rooftop platform. The rotatable turntable can be rotated to position the parcel on the elevator apparatus. The rotatable turntable may have tracks (312D, 412D) for receiving track wheels of a parcel containment unit. In some embodiments, the parcel may be positioned on the elevator apparatus at a top surface of a lift cabin of the elevator apparatus. The rooftop platform may also comprise a landing area for the aerial vehicle to deliver or receive the parcel containment unit via the rotatable turntable.
