About this Location

Facility Overview

The 101 S Hanley Garage (formerly operated as Central Parking and currently managed by LAZ Parking) is a premium multi-level parking facility integrated directly into the 19-story Class A office tower at 101 South Hanley Road in downtown Clayton, Missouri. Designed to serve office tenants, fine diners, court visitors, and local commuters, the garage features an organized interior deck with wide lanes, bright lighting, and clear wayfinding signage. Vehicle operators must note the vertical clearance limit: the garage maintains a maximum height restriction of 6 feet 1 inch (6'1"). As such, the structure easily accommodates compact cars, sedans, crossover vehicles, and standard mid-size SUVs. However, oversized vehicles—including lifted pickup trucks, high-roof cargo vans, and vehicles equipped with roof-mounted cargo boxes or bike racks—exceed the threshold and must utilize nearby surface parking alternatives.

Visitor & Driver Tips

To ensure a frictionless parking experience, consider the following driver pointers:

Measure Your Height: Always verify your roof height before pulling in—the strict 6'1" clearance bar leaves no margin for lifted suspensions or roof accessories.
Reserve in Advance: During busy business days and major courthouse docket days, spaces fill quickly; booking your spot ahead via digital apps (like ParkWhiz or LAZ) guarantees your reservation.
Keep Your Ticket or Barcode Handy: Have your digital pass or paper entry ticket ready before approaching the scanner at the gate to avoid delays.
Note Clayton Street Parking Rules: If you plan on quick meter hops, remember that on-street parking enforcement runs Monday through Friday 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, making this covered garage the safer, worry-free alternative for longer stays.
