Facility Overview

The Colonial Parking garage at 1425 K St NW provides prime, subterranean parking in the heart of Downtown Washington, D.C.’s vibrant commercial and legal district. Situated directly along the famous K Street corridor and across from historic Franklin Park, this multi-level underground parking facility serves commercial office tenants, government affairs professionals, lobbyists, and visitors to the nation’s capital. The facility offers well-lit, fully covered parking protected from inclement weather year-round. Due to underground structural design standard across central D.C. office complexes, this garage maintains a posted height clearance of approximately 6 feet 2 inches (6\'2\"). Standard passenger cars, mid-size crossovers, and compact SUVs will navigate the ramps and bays comfortably; however, full-size lifted pickup trucks, high-roof cargo vans, and vehicles equipped with rooftop cargo carriers or bike racks should seek outdoor surface alternatives.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Traffic along K Street NW can become heavily congested during weekday morning (7:30 AM – 9:30 AM) and evening (4:30 PM – 6:30 PM) rush hours; motorists are encouraged to budget an extra 10 to 15 minutes for arrival.
