About this Location

Facility Overview

Situated in the pulsating core of Denver's Lower Highland (LoHi) district, the 1615 Boulder St Parking facility (commonly known as the LoHi Lot) offers premier open-air surface parking at 1615 Boulder Street. Operable around the clock and managed by Parkwell, this paved, self-park facility features an accessible vehicle entrance situated right off 16th Street, identifiable by prominent branded marquee signage. Because it is an open-sky, flat-grade surface lot, the location boasts no vertical clearance restrictions or low-hanging ceiling pipes, allowing full headroom. Standard passenger sedans, compact crossovers, lifted full-size pickup trucks, large SUVs, and vehicles equipped with roof racks, cargo boxes, or bicycle mounts can enter and park comfortably. Drivers should simply ensure their vehicles fit fully within standard painted stall lines without obstructing adjacent travel lanes.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Positioned directly opposite iconic local culinary landmarks like Little Man Ice Cream and The Post Chicken & Beer, the 1615 Boulder St Lot serves as ground zero for exploring LoHi's world-renowned dining, cocktail, and social scenes. Within a swift two- to five-minute walk, guests can reach beloved neighborhood establishments including Linger, El Five, Avanti Food & Beverage, Senor Bear, Recess Beer Garden, and the celebrated speakeasy Williams & Graham. For outdoor lovers and urban explorers, the Highland Pedestrian Bridge is just three blocks away, providing a direct, scenic foot connection over Interstate 25 into Riverfront Park, Commons Park, Confluence Park, and the South Platte River Trail.

Downtown Denver and LoDo (Lower Downtown) are equally reachable on foot or via a fast 5-minute rideshare. Crossing the Highland Bridge brings visitors straight into Denver Union Station (a 12-to-15-minute walk), connecting drivers to regional rail, high-end shops, and premier dining. Sports and entertainment venues are within easy reach: Ball Arena (home of the Denver Nuggets and Colorado Avalanche) is roughly a 20-minute walk or 5-minute drive, while Coors Field and Empower Field at Mile High are both situated just 1.5 miles away, making this lot a strategic escape hatch that avoids downtown event traffic jams.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Arriving at 1615 Boulder St is streamlined from nearly anywhere in the Denver metro area. The lot enjoys rapid connectivity to Interstate 25 via either the 20th Street, Speer Boulevard, or 23rd Avenue exits, allowing motorists to steer clear of central downtown congestion when arriving or departing. Ingress into the lot is positioned off 16th Street, while internal drive aisles permit smooth one-way and two-way turning movements. Post-event egress is quick because drivers can turn onto 15th Street or Central Street to immediately pick up arterial connections toward North Denver or the interstate.

Public transit options abound for intermodal commuters. Denver Union Station serves as the primary regional transit nexus, providing access to RTD Light Rail lines (E and W), commuter rail (the A Line to Denver International Airport, B Line, and G Line), and local bus routes. In addition, RTD local bus routes run along 15th Street, Central Street, and Boulder Street, providing flexible transit connections right to the doorstep of the lot.
