About this Location

Facility Overview

Lot 7 at 1474 Stout Street is a centrally located, open-air surface parking lot situated in the heart of Downtown Denver\'s Central Business District. Positioned along Stout Street between 14th and 15th Streets, this facility provides rapid, street-level vehicle access without the hassle of multi-story spiral ramps or low-ceiling garage decks. Because it is an open-air lot, there are no overhead vertical clearance restrictions, making it an ideal choice for high-profile vehicles including lifted pickup trucks, full-size SUVs with rooftop luggage carriers, commercial cargo vans, and specialized transit vehicles that cannot navigate standard covered parking garages.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Drivers approaching from Interstate 25 can exit via Colfax Avenue or Speer Boulevard, connecting to 14th Street and turning directly onto Stout Street. Exiting the facility offers direct, convenient routing toward downtown avenues, making departures relatively straightforward even during high-traffic evening rushes. For public transit users, the RTD Light Rail Theatre District / Convention Center Station (servicing the D and H Lines) and the 16th & Stout Station are both within a two-block radius, providing effortless connections across the Denver metro area.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Stout Street carries RTD light rail tracks alongside traffic lanes, so drivers should remain mindful of train signals and designated turning lanes when entering the facility. During marquee conventions or sold-out theater nights, parking spaces can fill up rapidly; arriving 30 to 45 minutes ahead of curtain or keynote times is strongly recommended. Keep note of your vehicle\'s license plate number upon parking, as automated payment kiosks and mobile apps require accurate plate entry to validate your session.
