Facility Overview

LAZ Parking - Motorbank is a premier multi-level parking facility centrally situated at 1125 17th Street in the heart of downtown Denver\'s central business district, adjacent to the bustling Lower Downtown (LoDo) neighborhood. Serving both commercial tenants and transient visitors, this garage provides covered, weather-protected vehicle bays shielded from Colorado\'s seasonal snow, intense summer sun, and afternoon hail. Designed with wide driving aisles, intuitive floor directional signage, and clearly demarcated stalls, the garage smoothly accommodates standard passenger sedans, crossovers, mid-size SUVs, and standard-height light trucks. Drivers operating elevated 4x4 trucks, over-cab utility racks, or high-roof passenger and cargo vans should note the facility has a standard vehicle clearance ceiling of approximately 6 feet 8 inches (2.03 m) and should verify overhead clearance upon approach.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Positioned on Denver’s historic \'Wall Street of the Rockies,\' the 1125 17th Street location places visitors steps away from key commercial, dining, and cultural venues:

• 16th Street Mall: Just one block southwest, offering pedestrian access, outdoor dining, retail, and free transit connections via the MallRide shuttle.
• Coors Field: Approximately a 10-to-12 minute walk (0.5 miles) northeast, making this garage a popular, strategically located staging ground for Colorado Rockies baseball games without getting trapped in immediate stadium gridlock.
• Denver Union Station: Located roughly 6 blocks away (under 10 minutes on foot), providing access to transit lines, fine dining, boutique retail, and the Crawford Hotel.
• Larimer Square & LoDo Historic District: About a 7-minute walk to world-class chef-driven restaurants, historic cocktail lounges, and active nightlife.
• Colorado Convention Center & Bellco Theatre: Situated roughly 8 blocks (15 minutes walking), making it a viable alternative for conference attendees and trade show visitors during major regional events.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Entering and exiting the Motorbank garage is efficient, with vehicle ingress points accessible from 17th Street and adjacent side streets/alleys connecting to Lawrence Street and Arapahoe Street. Downtown Denver features a one-way street grid, so drivers arriving via I-25 are advised to exit at Speer Boulevard or 20th Street, transitioning smoothly onto Lawrence or Arapahoe Street toward 17th. Exiting traffic moves steadily onto major arterial corridors heading out toward I-25 and I-70. For regional transit travelers, RTD light rail and commuter rail lines are easily reached at Union Station and the 16th & Stout / 16th & California stations within a comfortable walking distance.

Visitor & Driver Tips

During evening Rockies home games or large conventions, 17th Street experiences heightened traffic. Reserving a stall ahead of time via major parking apps ensures guaranteed entry and locks in competitive flat rates. Remember to note your stall number and floor level on your mobile device before heading out, as multi-level layouts can look similar across decks. Avoid roof-box cargo carriers or aftermarket lifted suspensions that might exceed the posted overhead clearance limit.
