underground parking

Below-street vehicle storage

Underground parking is a parking facility located beneath ground level, typically below a building, plaza, or public space.

It maximizes land use in dense urban areas where surface lots would be impractical or too valuable: The hotel offers underground parking for guests.

Also called underground garage or parking garage when the structure has multiple subterranean levels.
