Facility Overview
Located in the heart of Washington, D.C.\'s bustling Franklin Square and McPherson Square district, the parking facility at 1225 I St NW serves as a critical infrastructure point for professionals and visitors alike. This is a professionally managed, multi-level garage facility. It is well-suited for standard passenger vehicles, sedans, and most mid-size SUVs. Drivers of lifted pickup trucks, high-roof conversion vans, or specialized heavy-duty vehicles should exercise caution regarding standard downtown clearance heights, which typically hover around 6 feet 4 inches.
