Facility Overview
Situated in Denver’s historic and energetic Lower Downtown (LoDo) district, 1399 Wazee Street Parking offers premium, centrally located surface parking at the corner of 14th Street and Wazee Street. As an open-air surface parking lot, this location provides effortless navigation and broad accessibility without the ceiling height restrictions inherent to multi-level subterranean decks or enclosed garages. This makes it an ideal landing spot not only for compact sedans and family crossovers, but also for full-size pickup trucks, commercial vans, and vehicles equipped with high-profile roof racks or sports cargo carriers.

Visitor & Driver Tips
