Facility Overview
The 999 North Capitol Garage, managed by Atlantic Parking, serves as a primary parking hub in the NoMa (North of Massachusetts Avenue) district of Washington, D.C. This facility is a multi-level enclosed garage structure providing structured parking that protects vehicles from D.C.\'s varied weather. It is designed to accommodate standard passenger cars, mid-size SUVs, and sedans. While standard vehicles fit with ease, drivers of lifted pickup trucks or high-roof passenger vans should exercise caution and verify vertical clearance signage at the entrance, as typical urban garages in this area maintain a clearance of approximately 6\'4\" to 6\'8\".
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
Situated in one of D.C.\'s fastest-growing neighborhoods, this location is highly strategic for both business and leisure. It is within walking distance of Union Station, a central transit and retail hub, and the U.S. Capitol complex. Visitors find this location ideal for accessing:
- Union Station (approx. 10-12 minute walk)
- Government and legal offices in the Capitol Hill district
- The vibrant dining and retail scene at Union Market (short ride or brisk walk)
