About this Location

Facility Overview

Conveniently situated at the vibrant intersection of Denver’s Central Business District and the North Capitol Hill (Uptown) neighborhood, the LAZ Parking facility at 1700 Sherman Street offers a dependable, well-maintained parking option for daily commuters, business travelers, and evening visitors. Positioned directly along the bustling 17th Street commercial corridor—historically known as the \'Wall Street of the Rockies\'—this facility provides accessible, spacious parking stalls designed for quick pull-in and smooth maneuverability. Because it operates with generous turning radiuses and standard outdoor clearances, it comfortably accommodates passenger sedans, compact crossovers, large pickup trucks, and full-size SUVs without the vertical ceiling anxieties common to older multi-story downtown ramps.
