About this Location

Facility Overview

The 1201 15th St NW Parking facility is a secure, professionally managed covered parking garage situated in the bustling downtown core of Washington, DC, just south of Thomas Circle. Serving an active commercial corridor and surrounding midtown destinations, this underground garage provides well-organized bays and bright lighting for daily commuters, business professionals, and city visitors. The covered layout protects vehicles against the elements throughout the year. The entrance ramp accommodates standard passenger sedans, compact crossovers, and mid-size SUVs, but drivers of lifted trucks, commercial cargo vans, or vehicles equipped with roof cargo racks should verify vertical entrance clearance before entering, as subterranean height limits in the district typically range around 6 feet 2 inches to 6 feet 6 inches.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Because 15th Street NW is a northbound one-way thoroughfare with dedicated bike and bus infrastructure, drivers should approach in the left or designated turning lane well before the entrance to ensure a smooth turn into the parking ramp. Morning peak entry times generally run from 7:30 AM to 9:30 AM; arriving slightly earlier or reserving your parking pass in advance through digital apps ensures guaranteed space availability and locked-in rates. If you plan to retrieve your vehicle after standard evening business hours, verify gate access procedures or confirm your after-hours access code before stepping away from the garage.
