About this Location

Facility Overview

The Colonial Parking garage at 7101 Wisconsin Avenue offers premier, covered parking in the heart of the Bethesda Central Business District. Situated directly along Wisconsin Avenue (Maryland Route 355), this multi-level underground parking facility serves the 7101 Wisconsin Avenue commercial complex as well as surrounding business, medical, and retail destinations. The facility features a well-illuminated layout with clearly delineated stalls, wide driving aisles, and intuitive directional wayfinding. Standard passenger sedans, compact crossovers, and mid-size SUVs can park effortlessly. However, due to standard underground structural height restrictions (posted clearance approximately 6 feet 4 inches), drivers of high-roof conversion vans, oversized commercial utility trucks, or vehicles equipped with high roof racks should seek nearby open-air surface parking.

Visitor & Driver Tips

To secure the best rates, visitors planning midday or full-day stays are encouraged to check digital reservation platforms like SpotHero in advance for early-bird or daily discounts. During the evening rush hour (4:30 PM to 6:30 PM), plan a few extra minutes when exiting onto northbound Wisconsin Avenue due to localized commuter traffic. Keep vehicle antennas down and double-check roof clearances before entering the ramp, and always retain your parking ticket or digital barcode in a safe place for automated payment kiosks before returning to your vehicle.
