Facility Overview

LAZ Parking at 1401 Lawrence Street provides premier parking in the core of Downtown Denver (LoDo/Central Business District border). Situated right at the intersection of 14th Street and Lawrence Street, this modern, high-rise commercial facility features secure, multi-level covered parking integrated within the 1401 Lawrence office tower. The garage offers well-lit, clean driving decks with clearly marked bays, directional signage, and elevator access directly to street level.

The garage features a standard vertical clearance height of approximately 7 feet (84 inches), which accommodates standard vehicles and stock pickups, though oversized commercial vans or vehicles with high roof racks should verify clearance upon approach.

Visitor & Driver Tips

During DPAC curtain times and major conventions, demand spikes quickly; reserving a parking pass in advance via apps like SpotHero or ParkMobile guarantees your spot and often secures discounted rates. If arriving for an evening show, plan to enter at least 30 to 40 minutes prior to showtime to park, take the elevator down, and enjoy a relaxed stroll to the venue. Pay close attention to posted height limit signs at the entrance ramp if you drive a lifted truck or have a rooftop cargo carrier.
