Facility Overview

Colonial Parking at 2100 Pennsylvania Ave NW offers a secure, modern underground parking garage located in the vibrant Foggy Bottom and Golden Triangle commercial corridors of Northwest Washington, DC. Integrated into a premier mixed-use commercial and retail complex, this facility provides well-lit, clearly designated parking bays across subterranean levels. Standard sedans, crossovers, and regular sport utility vehicles can maneuver easily through the garage. However, drivers of lifted 4x4 trucks, oversized commercial vans, and vehicles equipped with high-profile roof racks should verify on-site entrance height indicators (standard clearance typically ranges between 6\'2\" and 6\'6\"), as low subterranean clearance limits prohibit high-roof transit vans.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Exiting traffic moves efficiently onto adjacent one-way grids connecting directly to K Street NW, I Street NW, and Washington Circle. For drivers connecting with regional routes, the facility offers fast access to US-29, the E Street Expressway, and Interstate 66 across the Theodore Roosevelt Bridge into Northern Virginia. Transit riders will appreciate the close proximity to the Foggy Bottom-GWU Metro Station (Blue, Orange, and Silver Lines) roughly three blocks west, as well as multiple WMATA Metrobus routes serving Pennsylvania Avenue.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Because traffic on Pennsylvania Avenue and surrounding cross streets can be heavy during morning (8:00 AM – 9:30 AM) and evening (4:30 PM – 6:30 PM) rush hours, plan to arrive early to avoid congestion. If you are visiting during lunchtime or for a scheduled appointment at GW Hospital, booking your parking reservation in advance through mobile parking apps can guarantee your space and lock in lower daily rates. Remember to keep your parking ticket or digital barcode accessible upon return to ensure quick validation and swift egress at the exit gates.
