Facility Overview
The UMB Bank Parking Garage is a premier covered multi-level parking facility situated in the heart of Denver\'s Central Business District along the historic 17th Avenue financial corridor. Integrated into the prominent commercial presence at 17th and Broadway/Lincoln, this well-maintained structure provides sheltered, weather-protected vehicle storage for business professionals, clients, and downtown visitors. The facility features paved multi-tier parking decks, clearly designated driving aisles, and standard vertical clearance (typically posted at 6\'8\"), making it ideally suited for standard passenger sedans, compact crossovers, sports cars, and standard-height SUVs. Oversized commercial vehicles, lifted four-wheel-drive trucks, and high-roof conversion vans should seek open-air surface alternatives nearby due to interior ceiling heights.

Visitor & Driver Tips
Entering during the morning rush (7:30 AM – 9:00 AM) or exiting during the evening commute (4:30 PM – 6:00 PM) may involve brief delays along 17th Avenue and Lincoln Street; plan an additional 5–10 minutes during peak business hours. If you are attending an evening show at the Paramount Theatre or dining nearby, arriving early guarantees an easy-access parking space on the lower levels. Keep your physical ticket safe or take note of your stall number if prompted by automated digital pay stations.
