About this Location

Facility Overview

Situated in the heart of Cambridge’s world-renowned Kendall Square innovation hub, 33 Broadway Parking provides covered, professional parking for commuters, researchers, academics, and leisure visitors. Located at 33 Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02142 (near the intersection of Broadway, Third Street, and the evolving Volpe redevelopment district), this facility offers multi-level garage parking designed to handle the fast-paced mobility needs of one of the dense technology and biotech corridors in the country.

The garage accommodates standard passenger sedans, crossovers, mid-size SUVs, and standard light pickup trucks. Because it is a modern, structured parking garage with concrete deck clearance (typically posted around 6 feet 6 inches to 6 feet 8 inches), oversize utility vehicles, high-cube delivery vans, and roof-rack accessories may exceed vertical height limits and should check entrance signage prior to driving past the entry gate.

Watch for Pedestrian & Cyclist Traffic: Kendall Square is one of the most bicycle- and pedestrian-dense areas in Massachusetts; use extreme caution and yield to designated bike lanes when turning onto Broadway.
Check Garage Clearances: Drivers with commercial utility vans, roof boxes, or raised sports trucks should verify posted overhead clearance before entering the gate queue.
