Facility Overview
Dock Parking - 150 East 58th Garage LLC (often noted by building visitors and medical suites as the 150 E 58th dock parking facility) is a premium, fully indoor commercial valet parking operation located in the heart of Midtown East. Situated directly within the acclaimed Architects & Designers (A&D) Building—a prestigious Vornado Realty Trust property—the garage is positioned on the south side of East 58th Street between Lexington Avenue and Third Avenue. The facility provides safe, climate-controlled, below-grade parking managed by experienced parking professionals and on-site valet attendants 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Regarding vehicle suitability, the garage accommodates standard sedans, luxury sports cars, compact crossovers, minivans, and mid-to-full-size SUVs. The vertical clearance ceiling is set at 6 feet 8 inches (6'8"), meaning standard personal passenger vehicles enter and maneuver comfortably. However, oversized commercial vans, camper vans, high-top sprinter vans, and vehicles with rooftop cargo carriers or ladder racks exceed the overhead clearance threshold and cannot enter. An oversize vehicle fee typically applies on-site for vehicles over 65 inches in height and 180 inches in length.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Ingress to Dock Parking is on East 58th Street, a one-way westbound Manhattan street accessible by turning west from Third Avenue. Clear red-and-white "dock" signage marks the garage entrance ramp on the right-hand side of the street. Exiting traffic feeds smoothly back onto East 58th Street, allowing quick connections to Lexington Avenue heading downtown or Madison Avenue heading uptown.
For highway and regional vehicle access, the garage is extraordinarily convenient for commuters from Long Island, Queens, and northern New Jersey. The Queensboro (Ed Koch 59th Street) Bridge entrance and exit ramps are situated just two blocks north, allowing direct flow to Queens Boulevard, the Long Island Expressway (I-495), and the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway (I-278). The FDR Drive is accessible via the East 61st/62nd Street ramps, providing efficient north-south travel along Manhattan's east perimeter.
Drivers seeking park-and-ride subway connectivity are steps away from the Lexington Avenue/59th Street subway hub (servicing the 4, 5, 6, N, R, and W lines) and the Lexington Avenue/63rd Street station (F and Q lines), making citywide transit effortless.
