About this Location

Facility Overview

LAZ Parking at The Addison Garage is a secure, well-maintained indoor parking facility located at 225 Schermerhorn Street in Downtown Brooklyn, right along the vibrant border of Boerum Hill. Integrated into the ground and lower levels of The Addison residential development, this covered parking facility provides full protection from inclement weather for daily commuters, area residents, and cultural visitors alike. The garage features professional attendant service to streamline vehicle check-in and checkout. Standard sedans, compact crossovers, and mid-size SUVs can park comfortably within the facility. However, due to standard indoor clearance restrictions typical of urban residential parking facilities (maximum clearance roughly 6 feet 8 inches), oversized cargo vans, lifted pickup trucks, and vehicles with rooftop utility boxes should verify dimensions in advance or consult garage attendants before driving down the ramp.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

The entrance to The Addison Garage is positioned on the north side of Schermerhorn Street between Hoyt Street and Bond Street. Schermerhorn Street runs one-way westbound, providing straightforward entry from Flatbush Avenue and 3rd Avenue. Departing drivers can quickly filter onto Atlantic Avenue or Livingston Street to access the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway (I-278), the Manhattan Bridge, or the Brooklyn Bridge for travel into Lower Manhattan. For multimodal commuters, transit access could not be easier: the Hoyt-Schermerhorn Streets subway station (serving the A, C, and G trains) is located directly adjacent on the block. Additionally, the Nevins Street (2, 3, 4, 5 trains) and DeKalb Avenue (B, Q, R trains) stations are within 4 to 6 blocks, and the Atlantic Terminal Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) hub is an easy 12-minute walk away.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Because Schermerhorn Street is a one-way westbound street, drivers approaching from Long Island or Queens via Atlantic Avenue should turn right onto 3rd Avenue or Flatbush Avenue before looping onto Schermerhorn Street. During marquee events at Barclays Center or evening showtimes at BAM, spaces fill rapidly and street traffic can back up significantly; reserving a guaranteed space in advance through online booking portals is strongly advised. Remember to keep your claim ticket accessible or take a smartphone snapshot of it upon valet handover to ensure a fast checkout process upon your return.
