About this Location

Facility Overview

SP+ Parking at Lake Front North is a premier commercial parking facility located at 2103 Research Forest Drive in the thriving master-planned community of The Woodlands, Texas. Serving the Lake Front North corporate campus—which encompasses over 250,000 square feet of Class A office space situated along the picturesque northern shores of Lake Woodlands—this facility provides a modern, structured parking garage featuring over 1,035 covered parking bays alongside dedicated surface parking stalls. The multi-level garage is engineered with wide driving aisles, intuitive floor-to-floor ramping, high vertical clearance limits of approximately 7 feet on standard levels, and unobstructed drive paths that comfortably accommodate standard passenger sedans, crossover vehicles, and full-size pickup trucks. Drivers of oversized commercial vehicles, high-roof conversion vans, or utility trucks with rooftop racks can utilize the exterior open-air surface parking spaces situated adjacent to the primary building entrance.
