About this Location

Facility Overview

The 18th & Market Lot at 1817 Market Street is an accessible open-air surface parking facility strategically situated in the heart of Denver's historic Lower Downtown (LoDo) neighborhood. Because it is an open-air surface lot without structural height barriers or low-hanging clearance beams, this facility provides maximum vertical clearance, making it an exceptional parking choice for oversized vehicles, tall pickup trucks, commercial transit vans, rooftop-box SUVs, and full-size passenger vehicles that cannot safely fit into standard underground or multi-level parking garages. The lot features wide, straightforward aisles and direct drive-up access, ensuring a smooth parking experience in a bustling urban environment.
