Facility Overview
The 350 Kendall Street Garage, operated by Pilgrim Parking, is a modern multi-level subterranean parking facility situated in the bustling heart of Kendall Square, Cambridge. Designed to serve both commercial tenants and visitors to one of the world\'s most vibrant biotechnology and innovation clusters, this covered facility provides clean, secure, and weather-protected parking throughout the year. The garage features clearly demarcated bays, wide turning lanes, and well-lit drive aisles suitable for compact sedans, mid-size crossovers, and full-size SUVs. Drivers of lifted pickup trucks or high-roof commercial vans should note vertical clearance restrictions (posted at approximately 6 feet 8 inches at the entry portal), making alternative surface lots recommended for oversized or rooftop-cargo-equipped vehicles.
