About this Location

Facility Overview

The Exchange Place Garage is a centrally situated, multi-level covered parking structure located at 45 E Broadway (300 South) in the heart of Downtown Salt Lake City\'s historic Exchange Place district. Offering multi-deck weather-protected parking, this facility provides a convenient and secure home base for exploring downtown business centers, theaters, and entertainment options. The garage layout features clearly delineated driving aisles, bidirectional ramps, and standard vehicle parking stalls. It is well-suited for standard passenger cars, crossovers, compact cars, and mid-size SUVs. Due to overhead clearance restrictions (typically posted around 6 feet 8 inches to 7 feet), drivers operating high-roof commercial vans, lifted trucks, or vehicles equipped with elevated rooftop luggage carriers or bike racks should check overhead signage before entering.
