Facility Overview
The 101 Main St Garage (also known as the One Main Place Garage), located at 1064 SW 2nd Avenue in Downtown Portland, OR, is a secure, multi-level covered parking structure situated right in the commercial core of the city. Providing well-illuminated and weather-protected stalls, the facility serves corporate tenants, government personnel, civic visitors, and leisure guests alike. Standard passenger sedans, crossovers, minivans, and compact SUVs can navigate the interior ramps and parking bays comfortably. However, drivers of lifted 4x4 trucks, full-size extended passenger vans, or vehicles with rooftop cargo equipment should exercise caution and verify posted clearance signage (typically maintaining a 6-foot-6-inch vehicle clearance limit), as high-profile vehicles are better directed toward open-air surface lots.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Visitor & Driver Tips
Because SW 2nd Avenue is a one-way southbound street, align your GPS route via SW Salmon or SW Main Street to approach seamlessly from the right lane. During major downtown riverfront festivals and evening theater performances, spaces can fill quickly; reserve your spot in advance through mobile parking apps to secure discounted tariffs and guaranteed entry. Keep your parking ticket with you after leaving your vehicle, as it is required for pedestrian reentry after regular business hours.
