About this Location

Facility Overview

The Colonial Parking garage at 1801 Rockville Pike provides a secure, modern covered parking facility situated along Montgomery County’s bustling Rockville Pike (MD-355) commercial corridor. Serving the prominent commercial building at 1801 Rockville Pike—notable for housing corporate offices including iHeartMedia alongside professional suites and service retailers—this multi-level garage offers well-sheltered parking shielded from seasonal weather conditions.
