Facility Overview
Situated in the heart of Midtown Manhattan's Hell's Kitchen neighborhood, 45 Garage (operated by PropertyLink Management) is an indoor, attended valet parking facility located at 415 West 45th Street, between Ninth Avenue and Tenth Avenue. Designed to provide secure, weather-protected vehicle storage right on the doorstep of the Theater District, the garage features an organized drop-off staging area where professional valet attendants handle vehicle intake and maneuvering. The facility has a strict maximum vertical clearance limit of 6 feet 6 inches (6'6"), making it well suited for standard passenger cars, sedans, crossovers, and compact to mid-size SUVs. However, full-size lifted pickup trucks, high-roof commercial cargo vans, conversion vans, and supersized vehicles cannot be accommodated due to internal ceiling clearances and turning radius constraints. Drivers operating qualifying larger passenger SUVs should also anticipate standard city oversize vehicle surcharges upon intake.

For regional commuters, the garage offers superb highway proximity: the Lincoln Tunnel entrance ramps on Dyer Avenue are less than five minutes away to the south, while the West Side Highway (NY-9A) is accessible just three avenues west along 12th Avenue.
