About this Location

Facility Overview

Situated in the heart of Downtown Denver, the Metropolis parking facility at 1776 Curtis Street offers high-tech, seamless parking in the bustling Central Business District. Operating under Metropolis’s frictionless drive-in, drive-out computer-vision technology, this multi-level covered parking garage provides secure, weather-protected vehicle storage for daily commuters, business professionals, and evening eventgoers. The garage features clearly delineated stalls, wide turning radiuses, and standard vertical clearance of approximately 6 feet 8 inches, accommodating standard sedans, compact crossovers, and mid-size SUVs with ease. Drivers of oversized trucks, high-roof conversion vans, or vehicles equipped with elevated ski and cargo racks should verify vehicle clearance at the entry gate before proceeding inside.

Visitor & Driver Tips

To experience completely frictionless entry and exit, register your vehicle license plate and credit card in advance at metropolis.io before arrival. This allows the optical scanners to open gates and process your stay automatically with no paper ticket required. Peak morning commute hours (8:00 AM to 9:30 AM) and large convention days can increase downtown traffic on 18th Street, so aim to arrive 15 minutes ahead of your event or meeting. If you are planning an extended weekend stay, monitor posted overnight policies and take care to stow any personal belongings out of sight before heading out to enjoy the Mile High City.
