Parking description

Our reserved parking is located at the back of the building by 960 Illinois St., in stall #51- look for the large LUX-SF sign on the rear wall. Our tandem parking accommodates up to three vehicles, depending on size. One spot is included with the rental of each studio. Please allocate your spot or spots among your team prior to the day of your shoot. Stall #51 is conveniently located next to the loading dock and freight elevator for loading of all gear, merch, sets, etc., and is ideally located for grip truck or prop van parking. Please note that there are 2 stalls in that area, and we only have the one by the free motorcycle parking, and not the one next to the wall. Free, unlimited street parking is available on Illinois St. between 20th and 22nd Sts., and on many of the surrounding blocks. These spots tend to fill up by 8 AM every day except Sunday. Additional paid parking is available Monday-Saturday for $20/day in the IMPARK lot behind our building at 901 Illinois St.
