Facility Overview
Edison ParkFast at 50 W 44th Street offers premier, secure Midtown Manhattan parking situated right in the vibrant heart of New York City between 5th Avenue and 6th Avenue (Avenue of the Americas). Operating as a multi-level, attended covered parking garage, the facility provides fast valet drop-off and pickup managed by trained parking attendants. Due to standard Midtown multi-story clearance limits (typically 6 feet 6 inches), standard sedans, compact crossovers, and midsize SUVs can easily be accommodated. Larger full-size SUVs, pickup trucks, and extended passenger vans may be subject to standard NYC oversize vehicle surcharges and should verify vertical clearance upon approach, while high-roof cargo sprinters cannot be accommodated.
