Facility Overview

The 600 H Street (Apollo) Garage, operated by Atlantic Parking, is a modern underground parking deck situated beneath the prominent Apollo mixed-use residential and retail development in Washington, D.C.’s vibrant H Street Corridor (Near Northeast). The garage provides clean, well-illuminated, and secure sub-grade parking with direct elevator access to street level and the flagship Whole Foods Market anchored on the ground floor. Standard passenger cars, crossovers, sedans, and compact SUVs can navigate the subterranean bays with ease. However, full-size pickup trucks, commercial vans, and vehicles equipped with high roof racks or cargo carriers should verify posted height restrictions (typically around 6 feet 8 inches for standard DC residential/commercial structures) prior to entry, as clearance is restricted.

Visitor & Driver Tips

The H Street NE corridor features a shared streetcar track along the central roadway lanes; drivers must remain vigilant of streetcar movements, bike lanes, and restricted turning zones when approaching the garage entrance. If you plan to shop at Whole Foods, make sure to bring your parking ticket with you into the store to obtain any active retail validations before returning to your car. Weekend evenings can bring high demand due to the nightlife corridor, so booking a spot in advance using reservation apps like SpotHero or ParkMobile is highly recommended to secure your space and secure lower advance-purchase rates.
