Facility Overview
The Cathay Bank parking facility, located at 777 N Broadway, serves as a primary access point for the vibrant heart of Chinatown, Los Angeles. This facility is typically configured as a multi-level structure designed to accommodate standard passenger vehicles, sedans, and SUVs. Given the dense urban nature of the neighborhood, drivers should expect a standard multi-story layout. While ideal for standard passenger cars, drivers operating high-roof transit vans or oversized commercial trucks should exercise caution as vertical clearance is consistent with standard commercial parking garages.
