Facility Overview
The 13 W 50 N Garage provides convenient and secure vehicle parking in Salt Lake City, situated strategically on the edge of the downtown corridor and the bustling western downtown entertainment district. This multi-level parking structure offers clean, well-lit spaces designed for modern commuting and event travel. Designed to handle steady traffic flows from downtown commuters, shoppers, and eventgoers, the garage accommodates a comprehensive range of standard passenger vehicles, including compact cars, mid-size sedans, crossovers, and full-size SUVs. While standard production vehicles fit comfortably with typical garage clearances of approximately 6 feet 8 inches to 7 feet, oversized commercial cargo vans, high-top passenger vans, and vehicles with tall roof racks or extended trailering attachments should verify height clearances at the entryway before proceeding inside.
