About this Location

Facility Overview

The 621 17th St Parking Garage is a premier covered multi-level parking facility situated in the heart of Downtown Denver\'s bustling Central Business District (CBD). Located near the intersection of 17th Street and Welton Street, this modern parking deck serves prominent office towers, financial institutions, and retail corridors. The facility features standard paved stalls, clean traffic flow markings, and elevator access to street levels. While standard passenger vehicles, compact cars, cross-overs, and standard full-size SUVs can comfortably maneuver and park within the garage, drivers operating lifted pickup trucks, high-roof conversion vans, or vehicles equipped with rooftop cargo carriers should remain mindful of the garage\'s posted height restriction (typically clearance ranges around 6 feet 6 inches to 6 feet 8 inches for Downtown Denver decks).

Visitor & Driver Tips

During weekday morning rush hours (7:30 AM – 9:00 AM) and large convention days, parking garages in the CBD can fill up quickly; arriving before 8:30 AM or reserving a parking pass in advance via mobile parking apps is highly recommended. Always confirm vehicle clearance prior to passing under the entrance clearance bar, especially if your vehicle is equipped with ski racks or rooftop cargo boxes. Take note of your floor level and pillar letter when heading out to explore downtown, and prepare for temporary pedestrian traffic delays when exiting onto 17th Street during evening peak hours.
