Facility Overview
The Centrum Building Garage (managed by SP+ Parking) is a clean, multi-level covered parking structure located at 3575 Cahuenga Blvd West in Los Angeles, right along the scenic Cahuenga Pass corridor linking Hollywood and Studio City. Designed primarily to serve commercial tenants and retail visitors of The Centrum commercial center, the facility accommodates up to 387 vehicles across well-illuminated, paved covered decks. The structure features standard angled and perpendicular bays with clear interior traffic striping. Vehicle height clearance is strictly posted at 6 feet 6 inches (6'6" / 1.98 m). This overhead clearance comfortably accommodates standard passenger cars, compact vehicles, station wagons, minivans, and mid-sized crossovers or stock SUVs. However, full-size lifted pickup trucks, commercial cargo vans, high-roof camper vans, and vehicles with rooftop luggage boxes or bike racks will exceed the vertical limit and must seek alternative surface lot parking.

Visitor & Driver Tips
Drivers should keep the 6'6" vertical clearance restriction in mind before entering, especially those operating taller SUVs with attached roof racks or rooftop carriers. When approaching along Cahuenga Blvd, stay in the right lane near Fredonia Drive to avoid missing the garage portal, which is set slightly back from the main roadway. If visiting an on-site tenant or fitness studio, remember to bring your ticket inside to claim eligible parking validations before returning to your vehicle. For weekday business meetings or day trips to nearby studios, pre-reserving a spot through SpotHero or ParkMobile ensures guaranteed space availability and locks in discounted advance rates. Exiting onto Cahuenga Boulevard during the evening rush hour (4:00 PM to 6:30 PM) can face congestion due to Hollywood Freeway traffic; plan an extra 10 to 15 minutes when heading toward the freeway ramps.
