About this Location

Facility Overview

16 Market Square Garage is a premier subterranean parking facility located at 1573 Market Street in the heart of Denver\'s vibrant Lower Downtown (LoDo) historic district. Serving the prominent 16 Market Square commercial and retail complex at the corner of 16th Street Mall and Market Street, this modern, multi-level underground parking structure provides secure, weather-protected parking. The garage is fully paved, well-illuminated, and equipped with clear lane guidance and signage. It is exceptionally well suited for standard passenger cars, compact vehicles, crossovers, and mid-to-full-size SUVs. Drivers of lifted pickup trucks, high-roof conversion vans, or vehicles with oversized rooftop accessories should be mindful of the standard garage clearance restriction of approximately 6 feet 8 inches (2.03 m).

Visitor & Driver Tips

Due to its premier downtown location, demand peaks during Rockies home games, Ball Arena concerts, and Friday/Saturday evenings. Visitors attending headline events are strongly encouraged to reserve a space in advance via mobile parking apps to lock in their rate and avoid \'Lot Full\' turnarounds. When returning to your vehicle late in the evening, use the designated pedestrian access doors and retain your ticket or digital confirmation for re-entry. If navigating during evening rush hours, allow an extra 10 to 15 minutes to navigate Market Street traffic.
