Facility Overview
The Beco Garage (Propark), serving The Beco Building at 11140 Rockville Pike, provides covered, secure, and professional parking in the bustling North Bethesda and Rockville commercial corridor of Montgomery County, Maryland. Managed by Propark Mobility, this multi-level covered parking structure is integrated into the Beco corporate complex, offering dependable, weather-protected vehicle storage. The garage layout features clearly designated driving aisles, angled and 90-degree stalls, and pedestrian access connecting seamlessly to the office building lobby and street level. Standard passenger sedans, compact crossovers, and mid-size SUVs can park here with ease. However, drivers should be mindful of the posted vertical clearance limit of 6 feet 8 inches (with tighter lower-tier transitions), making the facility unsuitable for high-roof commercial cargo vans, lifted full-size pickup trucks, or vehicles fitted with rooftop cargo carriers.

Visitor & Driver Tips
The Beco Garage operates primarily as a business-hour facility during weekdays, typically open Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM, and is closed to casual daily drive-up parking on weekends. Daily parkers should note that standard daytime passes generally do not include in-and-out privileges, meaning re-entry will require an additional payment. To guarantee your stall and benefit from discounted daily rates, reserve your parking pass in advance through Propark or digital parking apps like SpotHero. When arriving, have your digital barcode or reservation pass ready on your smartphone screen to scan swiftly at the access gates, and allow a few extra minutes for exiting during the 4:30 PM to 6:00 PM evening rush hour along MD-355.
