Facility Overview
The Chatham Parking Garage is a premier multi-level, covered parking structure situated within the prominent Two Chatham Center commercial complex at 112 Washington Place in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Nestled on the vibrant border between Downtown Pittsburgh and the Uptown district, this facility offers secure, weather-protected vehicle storage for business professionals, hotel patrons, and event attendees alike. The garage accommodates standard passenger vehicles, compact cars, minivans, and standard-sized SUVs. Due to multi-tier height constraints with a typical overhead clearance of approximately 6 feet 6 inches (check on-site signage for exact posted maximums), high-top conversion vans, commercial delivery trucks, and vehicles with rooftop carriers should seek alternative open-air surface parking nearby.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
Chatham Parking Garage boasts an unbeatable location directly across the street from PPG Paints Arena, home of the NHL\'s Pittsburgh Penguins and host to world-class concerts and entertainment events—making it one of the most sought-after parking spots in the city.

Visitor & Driver Tips
Because of its immediate proximity to PPG Paints Arena, this garage experiences elevated demand and special flat-rate event pricing during Penguins games, major concerts, and arena shows. Drivers attending events are strongly advised to reserve a space in advance via digital booking platforms or arrive 45 to 60 minutes prior to puck drop to avoid perimeter queueing along Washington Place. Keep a mental note or take a photo of your parking level and pillar marker, as the multi-deck layout can be disorienting after dark.
