About this Location

Facility Overview

The 2nd & Josephine Garage, powered and managed by Metropolis, is a premier covered multi-level parking facility located at 200 Josephine Street (with vehicular entry at 236 Josephine Street) in the heart of Denver's prestigious Cherry Creek North neighborhood. Designed to serve local office tenants, boutique shoppers, fine-dining guests, and neighborhood visitors, this structured garage provides clean, weather-protected self-parking with modern automated operations. The parking deck features wide drive lanes, clearly striped bays, and vertical elevator access serving all parking decks.

Vehicle suitability is well-accommodated for standard passenger vehicles, compact sedans, crossovers, mid-size SUVs, and standard-height light-duty pickup trucks up to the posted clearance height of 7 feet 2 inches (7' 2"). Drivers operating full-size lifted trucks, high-roof conversion vans, commercial cargo carriers, or vehicles with raised roof-top ski boxes or bike racks should check overall clearances prior to entering. Wide-open headroom and unobstructed drive aisles make entering and maneuvering across each level straightforward for standard family and commuter vehicles.

Visitor & Driver Tips

To ensure a seamless visit, motorists should keep the following recommendations in mind:

Verify Your License Plate: If reserving via SpotHero or Metropolis, double-check that your license plate is entered correctly in the app before arrival. Computer vision cameras scan your plate upon entry and exit for automated validation.
Stay in the Right Lane: Because Josephine Street carries brisk northbound traffic, keep to the right lane after crossing East 2nd Avenue to easily glide into the driveway without having to make sudden lane changes.
Check Overhead Gear: If your vehicle is fitted with rooftop bicycle racks, ski containers, or aftermarket suspensions, verify your vehicle's total height against the 7' 2" overhead barrier before passing the entryway.
Pre-Book on Busy Evenings: Weekend dinner reservations and holiday shopping seasons generate heavy neighborhood demand. Reserving your spot ahead of time ensures guaranteed parking even when street spaces and neighboring surface lots fill up.
