Facility Overview

The parking garage at 1001 17th Street offers premium, secure parking in the heart of Downtown Denver’s Central Business District (CBD). Situated within a prominent multi-story commercial office tower at the corner of 17th Street and Curtis Street, this modern, multi-level covered parking facility provides optimal shelter from Colorado’s seasonal weather extremes, including winter snowstorms and hot summer sun. The garage features well-engineered driving lanes, clear directional signage, and designated accessible bays. Due to its subterranean and covered architectural design, vertical clearance is restricted to standard vehicle heights (typically 6 feet 6 inches to 6 feet 8 inches), making it ideal for compacts, sedans, crossovers, and standard-size SUVs. Drivers of lifted pickup trucks, commercial cargo vans, or vehicles equipped with roof racks and cargo carriers should verify posted entrance height warnings prior to ingress.

Visitor & Driver Tips

During peak weekday office hours (8:00 AM to 9:30 AM), garage traffic can peak, so an early arrival is recommended. If visiting for a theater performance, baseball game, or convention, pre-booking a stall via parking apps can secure lower prepaid rates and guarantee an open stall. Keep in mind that 17th Street features high bus and pedestrian traffic; approach entries cautiously and pay close attention to one-way street configurations when navigating downtown Denver\'s grid.
