With the increasing popularity of retail and office space in downtown Boulder, parking is difficult to supply. In addition, property owners living there are frustrated by downtown visitors who use neighborhood streets for parking.
The Boulder Central Area General Improvement District voted to finance a new parking structure at 15th and Pearl Streets, at the end of the popular Pearl Street Mall. Due to its proximity to the historic storefronts along Pearl Street, the structure’s three facades facing public streets needed to be integrated with existing retail and office buildings.
With its highly detailed brick work, the structure fits contextually and welcomes downtown visitors with convenient parking. The post-tensioned concrete garage holds approximately 700 cars on eight levels, two below grade. The mixed-use component includes 7,500 sf of retail on the first floor and 7,500 sf of City office space on the second floor. The garage features open stair towers and a glass-enclosed elevator.
