About the project

Aiming to redefine the parking experience, this new 327,000-square-foot project offers cutting-edge technology and smart design features. The structure also features ground-level restaurant space and a public plaza, while a new tunnel under Prairie Street will connect the building to the Alley Theater.

Lyric’s two-way circulation system eliminates the inconvenience of one-way traffic flow. While theatergoers enjoy this effortless circulation, they are led by an avant-garde Colored LED Guidance System which elegantly illuminates the path to available parking spaces. After a fun night out, they return to an intuitive pay-on-foot station that displays a car’s location on a digital map for ease of retrieval. There will be no nervous panic button pressing while wandering Lyric Garage in search of a parked vehicle.

Round-the-clock security patrols and state-of-the-art digital CCTV cameras ensure visitor safety and peace of mind. License plate recognition technology at every parking space works double duty to provide contract parkers with a frictionless entry and exit experience. No more badging in or out. Lyric Garage is truly the future of parking.
