Facility Overview
The One Lakeway Parking Garage is an integral multi-level covered parking structure serving One Lakeway Center (3900 N Causeway Blvd) within the renowned Lakeway Center complex in Metairie, Louisiana. Positioned right on the southern edge of Lake Pontchartrain near the base of the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway, this commercial parking facility provides sheltered, secure, and well-organized vehicle accommodation. Designed primarily to support office tenants, corporate visitors, hotel patrons, and event attendees, the garage features wide driving aisles, clearly delineated parking bays, and multi-tier elevator cores that seamlessly connect to the One Lakeway commercial office tower. The garage comfortably accommodates standard passenger sedans, crossovers, and full-size SUVs; however, drivers operating high-top commercial vans, oversized work trucks with utility racks, or vehicles with roof cargo boxes should observe the standard posted vertical height clearance of approximately 6 feet 8 inches.

Visitor & Driver Tips
When approaching the facility, stay in the right-hand lanes of North Causeway Boulevard to smoothly enter the service ramp and garage portal. Peak morning arrival hours run between 7:45 AM and 9:00 AM, while afternoon departure reaches its highest volume between 4:30 PM and 5:45 PM; plan extra time when exiting toward the I-10 on-ramp during these windows. If you are visiting an office or attending an event at the Marriott, bring your parking ticket with you to take advantage of merchant or conference validation machines inside the lobby prior to returning to your car.
