About this Location

Facility Overview

Situated at 1401 Lawrence Street in the vibrant heart of Downtown Denver, this modern covered parking garage is integrated into the 1401 Lawrence Class A commercial tower. Offering clean, well-maintained multi-level covered parking, the facility protects vehicles from Colorado\'s seasonal snow, hail, and intense sunshine. The garage features wide drive aisles, clearly striped standard and compact bays, and clearly signed directional indicators. The garage is engineered to accommodate standard passenger cars, crossovers, and mid-sized SUVs; however, drivers of oversized pickup trucks, lifted 4x4s, and commercial high-roof vans should take note of the standard overhead garage clearance limit (approximately 6 feet 8 inches to 7 feet) before entering.

Visitor & Driver Tips

During major curtain times at DPAC or large gatherings at the Convention Center, traffic along 14th Street can back up; plan to arrive at least 30 to 45 minutes ahead of your event to secure a bay and walk comfortably to your destination. Pre-booking via mobile parking apps is strongly recommended on weekends to secure preferred rates and guaranteed entry. Always double-check posted height restrictions at the entry gate, and keep your parking ticket or digital barcode accessible for seamless gate clearance upon exit.
