Denver context

Parking challenges specific to the Denver metro

RTD light-rail and commuter spillover

Denver's light-rail and BRT network creates a problem national vendors rarely address: commuters park in apartment and HOA lots near stations, then ride the train all day. We've resolved this at communities along the W, C, E and A lines using LPR-backed permits that flag overstays without penalizing residents or their legitimate guests.

Neighborhoods our officers work every week

River North (RiNo), LoHi, Sloan's Lake, Capitol Hill, Stapleton/Central Park, Washington Park and Cherry Creek North — plus suburban HOA and apartment communities in Lakewood, Littleton, Centennial, Englewood, Aurora and Glendale. Our team is Denver-based, not dispatched from out of state; we know which complexes have the worst Friday-night overflow and route accordingly.

Revenue-share model — zero out-of-pocket

For qualifying Denver properties, our full-service program runs on a revenue-share basis: we build and operate the permit program, and earn a share of permit revenue rather than billing the property upfront. Most properties see net-new parking income within 30 days. Ask us if your community qualifies →

Denver parking questions

Yes. 5280 Parking provides full-service parking permit management and enforcement for apartment communities and HOAs in Denver and surrounding areas, including Denver, Aurora, Lakewood, Littleton, Centennial, Englewood and Glendale.

Typically within a few weeks — the main dependency is signage installation, which we handle. Contact us to scope your timeline.

Yes — this is a Denver-specific challenge we've addressed at several communities near RTD stations. Non-residents park in apartment and HOA lots and ride the train all day. Our LPR-backed permit system flags overstays, and our local officers respond fast. Tell us your location and we'll walk you through how we'd handle it.

Both models are available. For qualifying Denver properties, we prefer a revenue-share arrangement — we run everything and earn a portion of permit revenue, so the property pays nothing out of pocket and starts generating income from day one. A flat monthly fee is also an option for properties that prefer predictable costs. Contact us to discuss what fits.
