Selected Parking Structures


SUNY Administration Parking Garage, Albany, NY

State University of New York Parking Garage, Albany, NY
Located near Interstate 787 in downtown Albany, this modern parking structure provides five levels of parking, totaling 679 spaces, for SUNY Administration staff and visitors.

After workers unearthed potentially significant artifacts at the site, Hartgen Archeological Associates was called in to conduct an extensive dig in close coordination with the U.W. Marx team.

The site was found to contain numerous significant artifacts, including items left behind by Native Americans and early Dutch settlers. Portions of Albany’s early 1600’s Fort Orange stockade were also revealed.

Constructed under contract with the State University Construction Fund, the 51,000 s/f parking structure was begun by U.W. Marx in the spring of 1999 and was completed in 2000, on time and within budget.


Quackenbush Square Parking Facility, Albany, NY.

Quackenbush Square Parking Facility, Albany, NY
Visible from Interstate 787, the structure is located near the Clinton Avenue overpass in Albany, NY.

The parking facility was completed on a fast-track schedule, on time and under budget. Construction timetables were met even as archeologists studied the historically significant remains of a distillery that operated on the site from approximately 1750 to 1810.

Features of the all pre-cast concrete structure include an impressive stair tower, resembling a bell tower with rows of mullioned windows on each parking level. The tower provides an aesthetic focal point, with the brick facade continuing the appearance of the single-story office building fronting the facility.

The project's successful completion reflects the teamwork displayed by U.W. Marx, project architect Desman Associates of New York City, and the City of Albany Parking Authority.


Rensselaer Rail Station Parking Structure, Rensselaer, NY

CDTA Rensselaer Rail Station Parking Garage, Rensselaer, NY
This structure is a three-level, 897-space parking facility attached to the CDTA Rensselaer Rail Station. U.W. Marx provided construction management services for the $53 million intermodal transportation facility project.

The first and second levels of the structure were constructed to accommodate long-term public parking, while the third level parking plaza provides a number of short-term parking spaces for travelers to and from New York's Tech Valley.

Fifth Avenue Parking Garage, Troy, NY

City Of Troy Fifth Avenue Parking Facility, Troy, NY
U.W. Marx served as construction manager for this new 300-space parking garage located in historic Troy, NY.

The garage is a three-level structure, consisting of a steel frame and composite concrete decking. Designed by Envision Architects of Albany, the facility features a pre-cast structure with an historically appropriate brick façade.

The new parking structure is located on Fifth Avenue between Broadway and State Street, and complements the 18th- and 19th-century architecture prevalent in downtown Troy.
