SKYWALK ACCESS & PUBLIC PARKING
Plan Ahead for Your Visit to the 801 Grand Building
If you’re visiting a dining or retail location on one of the lower levels of the 801 Grand Building, you can park nearby or access the building through one of the three connected skywalks downtown. The reception desk is located in the north lobby, and the best way to find the reception desk is to enter the building from High Street.
Public Parking at 801 Grand
You have a couple of different options for parking near the 801 Grand Building downtown. There is metered street parking around the building, along with a public garage located just across the street. The public garage is a city ramp on the corner of 9th Street and Grand Avenue. This ramp charges a $1/hour rate and is connected to the building by a skywalk.
Downtown Skywalk System
The 801 Grand Building has three connections to the downtown Des Moines skywalk system. The west skywalk route leads to the 901 Parking Ramp, the south skywalk route leads to the City Parking Ramp, and the east skywalk route leads to the east skywalk connections. The south and east routes also lead to other skywalk connections to the downtown area of Des Moines.
