Facility Overview
Situated in the heart of East Orange\'s commercial and transit corridor, 155 Evergreen Place Parking serves the prominent office complex at 155 Evergreen Place as well as surrounding municipal and commercial centers. The parking facility features a spacious open-air surface parking lot alongside accessible designated stalls, offering easy navigation and clear sightlines throughout.

Always check posted signage near the stalls to ensure you are parked in standard visitor spaces rather than reserved corporate or tenant bays.
