Parking Facilities

The Block 89 ramp contains 5 levels of underground parking, with 743 spaces that are available on either a monthly or an hourly basis.

The entrance / exit to the Block 89 parking ramp is conveniently located on Doty Street between MLK Jr. Blvd. and South Pinckney Street, directly across the street from the Madison Municipal Building.

The first level of the parking ramp is reserved for visitors and clients of tenants in Block 89.

The lower levels of the parking ramp are for use by monthly parkers. The parking ramp is connected on every level by elevator lobbies that serve each of the buildings in Block 89.

In addition to the elevator lobbies, the ramp has three stairwells. One stairwell leads to the sidewalk level of Doty Street, one that leads to the Capitol Square and one near the bike racks that leads to the lower level of One East Main. The stairs are clearly labeled with the name of the street they exit onto.

Please note: Urban Land Interests does not offer Electric Vehicle Charging in our commercial parking spaces, though we are actively researching options to deliver this service as soon as possible.  Also please be aware that outlets in the ramp are covered and not intended for parker use.

You will enter the ramp from the left lane on East Doty Street. The parking ramp has three traffic lanes. The first lane (as you approach the parking ramp on Doty Street) is always entrance only. This lane has a prominent overhead “ENTER” sign. In order to better accommodate peak traffic volumes, the middle lane is dual purpose. It serves as an entrance lane from 7 a.m. - 10 a.m. daily, but after 10 a.m. and for the remainder of the day, it functions as an exit lane for monthly parkers who do not require access to the parking attendant booth. The lane nearest the parking booth is a permanent exit only lane that must be used by all visitors and hourly parkers who need to transact with the booth attendant.

To accommodate the needs of tenants, the lower four levels of the parking ramp are set aside for monthly parking on a first-come, first-served basis. A limited number of reserved parking stalls are available on the second and third levels of the parking ramp (P-2 and P-3) at an additional charge, subject to availability.

MULTI LEVEL PARKING

To help you remember the level on which your car is parked, each level of the parking ramp is color-coded and has a distinctive graphic. Please take a moment to note the level you are on when leaving your car.

Each level of the parking ramp has elevator lobbies that serve each office building in Block 89. The office building lobbies are locked after normal business hours and require an activated “C-Cure by Software House” security tag to gain access.

CLEARANCE

P-1 can accommodate vehicles with a clearance of up to 8’2”. The lower levels (P-2 through P-5) of the parking ramp are designed for a maximum clearance of 7’0”. Please make sure your vehicle has a clearance of 7’0” or less to avoid damage.

APPLICATIONS

Applications for monthly parking spaces are available by contacting our parking department at Parking@uli.com or visiting uli.com/parking. Parking stalls that are on a month-to-month basis may be canceled by the user only by providing 30 days prior written notice to ULI. The terms are detailed on the monthly parking application/contract. Please make sure your parking fees are paid on time.

AUTOMATIC ACCESS

Each parker is provided with a parking access card which is their primary access to the ramp. It allows the parker to enter and exit the ramp 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by touching the card to the card readers that are affixed to the ticket spitters upon entry and pay stations upon exit. For the parker’s convenience, the ramp is also equipped with License Plate Recognition (LPR), which is a system where ceiling-mounted cameras read the rear license plate of the monthly parker’s vehicle upon entrance/exit and will cause the parking gates to automatically open as you slowly approach the gate area. To take advantage of this convenience, it is important that the license plates of any vehicle the monthly parker may drive at any given time are registered to their parking account. Monthly parkers can contact the parking department to add, subtract, or edit plate and vehicle information during normal business hours. The system will allow up to five (5) plates to be registered per paid parking account, however, the system will only allow one vehicle per paid account to access the ramp at a time. To make sure the rear license plate can be easily read by the system, it is important that the plate is unobstructed by dirt, snow, plate cover/frame, bike rack, spare tire, etc. It is strongly suggested that monthly parkers keep their access cards ready to be used at any given time in the event that their plate is not read by the LPR system for any reason.

TENANTS

Tenants and their employees will always be given priority for available parking. However, if spaces are available, monthly parking will be made available to non-tenants as well.

ACCESS

Each monthly parker is provided a parking access card, which allows the parker to enter and exit the ramp 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. There is a replacement fee for lost or stolen parking cards.

ACCESS PROBLEMS

If you are an authorized monthly parker and the gate does not automatically rise as you slowly approach, simply use your parking card or take a ticket from the ticket-dispensing machine, proceed to a parking space, and call the ULI office to report the incident.

To make the Block 89 ramp as convenient as possible for your clients, customers and visitors, the top level of the ramp is set aside for short-term visitors only. The visitor parking is clearly identified and is available for use by your guests and visitors. Please make sure you do not park in visitor stalls or designated reserved stalls. Monthly parkers who park in the designated visitor parking area will be ticketed and may lose their parking privileges for repeat offenses.

We will use our best efforts to set aside enough visitor parking so that our tenants may be confident that their guests can be accommodated. If a tenant needs to schedule an event or meeting which involves a large number of visitors during normal business hours, please call the ULI office at least 24 hours before the event, and we will do our best to accommodate any special parking needs.

If at any time your visitor is unable to find available parking, please notify the ULI office immediately. If you are scheduling a special event to occur after normal business hours, you may display your event signage at the parking entrance to give your visitors directions to convenient parking. To ensure that the elevator lobby in your office building is accessible to your guests and that your event signage is properly displayed, please call the ULI office at least seven business days prior to the event.

The visitor parking area on level P-1 can accommodate vehicles with a clearance of up to 8’2”. Two van-accessible handicapped parking stalls are provided adjacent to the One East Main elevator lobby. Please let us know if you encounter a need for additional accessible parking.

Visitors or clients must take a ticket from the ticket-dispensing machine as they enter the ramp. They must either pay for the cost of parking or present a validation sticker issued from the tenant as they exit the ramp.

Tenants wanting to obtain validation stickers to validate visitor parking should contact our Parking Departments parking@uli.com to setup an account. An invoice will then be generated monthly for the charges the tenant has accrued. When more validation stickers are needed, contact Parking. Please allow 48 hours for processing.

If a visitor does not have a validation sticker issued by a tenant of Block 89, the visitor must pay the general public hourly parking rate when exiting the ramp. Only credit cards are accepted.

Daily operation of the Block 89 parking ramp is managed by Urban Land Interests. ULI monitors and maintains the entry parking gates and ticket dispenser.  For any maintenance needs within the ramp, e.g., broken glass, graffiti, burned-out lights, etc., please call the ULI maintenance line at (608) 251-0707 or email maintenance@uli.com.  

You have sole responsibility for the protection of your automobile(s) or any other property located within the parking area. ULI is not responsible for policing or securing the parking area, and assumes no liability for theft of, or any damage to vehicles or other property located within the parking area. Please keep your vehicle locked at all times and report any incidents to the ULI office.

A few times each year ULI will rent parking spaces to the general public for special events, such as the Art Fair on the Square and the Taste of Madison. Parking will be rented to the general public for special events only on weekends and holidays, not on weekdays during normal business hours. During these times ULI will always try to reserve adequate parking spaces for monthly parkers with a valid parking access card. Your access card entitles you to parking privileges 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Special event parkers (the general public) will not have access to the buildings and must use the stairs provided that lead to Doty Street and to the intersection of Main and Pinckney Streets on the Capitol Square.

Bicycle racks are provided for tenants of Block 89 and are located to the left as you enter the parking ramp on level P-1. Please bring a lock to secure your bicycle to the rack. ULI is not responsible for theft or any damage to your bicycle or other property resulting from the use of its bicycle facilities. Please report any incidents to ULI or to the parking attendant.

No bicycles are permitted in the building lobbies or any of the elevators. Bicycles may not be left on sidewalks adjacent to the building entrances or in the loading docks.
