Facility Overview
The 1875 Lawrence Garage is a premier covered multi-level parking structure located at 1875 Lawrence Street, positioned right at the dynamic intersection of Denver\'s Central Business District (CBD) and the historic Lower Downtown (LoDo) / Ballpark neighborhoods. Offering weather-protected parking in the heart of downtown Denver, this facility provides a convenient and secure parking experience for professionals, sports fans, and evening diners alike. The structure is tailored for standard passenger vehicles, sedans, crossovers, and mid-sized SUVs. Due to overhead clearance restrictions typical of multi-level CBD parking garages (generally posted around 6 feet 8 inches to 7 feet), drivers operating lifted trucks, high-roof conversion vans, or vehicles with oversized rooftop racks should check posted overhead bars before entering.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
Situated in one of the most vibrant corridors of downtown Denver, 1875 Lawrence Garage is strategically located within easy walking distance of major sports venues, entertainment epicenters, and corporate headquarters:
- Coors Field: Home of the Colorado Rockies, located just 3 blocks away (roughly a 6 to 8-minute walk), making it a prime destination for baseball game days.
- Dairy Block & LoDo Dining: Just 2 blocks to the micro-district featuring Denver Milk Market, artisan cocktail bars, and boutique shopping.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Vehicle ingress and egress are arranged to facilitate swift movement onto Lawrence Street and 19th Street. Because downtown Denver features a one-way street grid, drivers approaching from Interstate 25 can exit via Park Avenue West or 20th Street and proceed directly into the Ballpark/LoDo district. Exiting post-event or during evening rush hour is relatively seamless with direct routes toward major arterial roads leading to I-25, I-70, and Speer Boulevard. For those combining driving with public transit, the RTD Free MallRide along 16th Street and multiple local bus stops along Arapahoe and 18th Streets are only steps away, and the light rail lines at Union Station are easily walkable.
