About this Location

Facility Overview

Empire Outlets Parking is a modern, multi-level structured parking facility serving New York City’s premier waterfront retail center in the historic St. George neighborhood of Staten Island. Located at 55B Richmond Terrace, this spacious, covered garage provides hundreds of secure parking spaces arranged over multiple illuminated tiers with direct, weather-protected pedestrian elevator and stair access directly into the open-air promenade of Empire Outlets. The garage accommodates standard sedans, compact crossovers, minivans, and full-size SUVs with ease. Drivers of oversized vehicles, high-roof conversion vans, or trucks with roof racks should observe the posted vehicle height clearance of approximately 6 feet 8 inches (2.03 meters) at the garage entrances.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Positioned along the scenic North Shore waterfront overlooking New York Harbor and the Lower Manhattan skyline, Empire Outlets Parking serves as an unbeatable gateway to top retail, entertainment, and transit destinations. Key venues and attractions within immediate walking distance include:

Empire Outlets: Direct vertical access from the garage decks to premier designer outlets, dining terraces, and harbor-view public plazas.
St. George Ferry Terminal: Located adjacent to the complex (a 2 to 3-minute covered walk), offering 24/7 free passenger ferry service across New York Harbor to Whitehall Terminal in Lower Manhattan.
SIUH Community Park (Richmond County Bank Ballpark): Home of the Staten Island FerryHawks minor league baseball team, located less than a 5-minute stroll along the promenade.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Vehicular ingress and egress are accessed smoothly via Richmond Terrace and Wall Street. Arterial road connections provide straightforward travel from the Staten Island Expressway (I-278) via the Clove Road, Bay Street, or Victory Boulevard corridors. Due to its positioning right next to the St. George Intermodal Terminal, patrons have instantaneous access to the Staten Island Railway (SIR) and more than a dozen MTA local and express bus routes (including the S40, S42, S44, S46, S48, S51, S61, S62, and S74). Exiting the garage is straightforward with dedicated exit lanes and automated barrier gates; however, traffic on Richmond Terrace can experience moderate surges immediately following baseball games or theater dismissals.

Visitor & Driver Tips

When entering from Richmond Terrace, keep right and follow the directional signage into the garage entrance ramp. To secure the most convenient spot, drive up to mid-level decks which often have fewer pedestrian crossings and direct elevator access to center court. If visiting during holidays or special events at the St. George Theatre, arriving 30 to 45 minutes ahead of curtain call will save you time navigating post-event exit traffic. Remember to retain your entry ticket or take note of your stall number if using mobile automated pay-on-foot machines prior to returning to your vehicle.
