Facility Overview
Mott Park LLC is a secure, professionally attended parking garage situated at 284 Mott Street in the heart of Manhattan\'s vibrant NoLita (North of Little Italy) neighborhood, right between East Houston Street and Prince Street. Because street parking across Lower Manhattan is notoriously limited and subject to strict commercial loading restrictions, this facility offers an indispensable refuge for local residents, shoppers, and commuters. Operating as an indoor valet garage, staff members greet drivers at the entrance and handle the maneuvering and parking. The garage comfortably accommodates standard sedans, compact crossovers, and mid-size SUVs. Drivers of oversized vehicles, such as extended full-size SUVs or full-size pickup trucks, should note that height restrictions (standard for historical Manhattan buildings at approximately 6 feet 6 inches) and oversize vehicle surcharges typically apply. High-roof commercial vans and lifted trucks are not suitable for this underground/covered layout.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Mott Street is a one-way southbound corridor. Drivers typically access the facility by turning south onto Mott Street from East Houston Street, a primary two-way arterial connecting the East Side (FDR Drive) and the West Side (West Street / Route 9A / Holland Tunnel). Due to dense pedestrian activity and outdoor dining sheds along Mott Street, drivers should proceed with caution and maintain low speeds upon approach. Exiting the garage allows for seamless continuation southbound toward Kenmare and Delancey Streets or quick looping back onto Houston Street. For multi-modal commuters, the location is exceptionally well-connected to public transit, sitting mere minutes from the Broadway-Lafayette Street subway station (B, D, F, M trains), the Bleecker Street station (6 train), and the Prince Street station (R, W trains).
