🔧 Pearl 281 North Lot - LAZ Parking

As of 2025 they are taking pictures of your license plate when you enter and leave the parking lot. I was there for ten minutes and got charged automatically when I did not give them my card information. They are saving past card information and linking it to your drivers license.

Parking area is convenient to all the shops in the Pearl district. However, the base rate was different than the signs posted. Additionally, a majority of the lighting was not operational. Makes it hard to park and feel safe if everything is in the dark, especially for $15 for an hour.

I utilized this parking area when I checked out the pearl market. I went at opening time- ten am and was able to find ample parking for my rather large vehicle. On exiting though people were doing laps trying to find parking. You can scan codes while you’re there to get yourself checked in and pay. I didn’t read the instructions correctly and ended up paying the day rate. It was a bit pricey considering I was only there two hours but that was my own bad for not paying closer attention. The app gives you notifications and reminders as well as your time inches closer to being completed. There was no safety concerns and I returned to my intact vehicle. No sketchy people in surrounding are at this time. Can park oversized vehicles here as I did the mine. There’s nice pathways to the different locations. Also a nice paved and marked bike lane.

Parking lot is nice. Clean. Large stalls. Yes you gotta pay but you literally walk right into the Pearl from here. If you ask me, that's considered a premium perk. Now if I paid to park 3 blocks away then I'd be upset like the rest of the peeps leaving 1 star reviews because they don't want to pay $8. Anyway, back to reviewing the parking lot... the Wayfinder markings are great, large and clear. Payment is made easy with QR code signs just about everywhere.

As of 6/29/21, everything here is considered premium parking. This is new to me. Keep reading for where the remaining free parking is! Everything under the 281 bridge is pay to park. It's free for the first 30 minutes and then costs a fee after that varying by day of the week. This is also the case with parking near La Gloria - now pay to park. Free parking is located on Pearl Pkwy as you enter the Pearl, along Avenue B, around Sam's burger joint, and inside the pearl around the "Full Goods" building. This was such fantastic convenient parking that is now another a fee.
