Facility Overview
The Ingot Parking Garage is a modern, multi-level covered parking garage situated at 2775 S 28th Street in the heart of Pittsburgh\'s vibrant SouthSide Works development (ZIP 15203). Serving as one of the primary parking anchors for the South Side\'s premier mixed-use lifestyle and tech corridor, the facility offers sheltered, weather-protected parking across multiple well-lit tiers. The structure easily accommodates standard passenger cars, sedans, crossovers, and mid-sized SUVs. Standard full-size pickup trucks and SUVs can maneuver comfortably within marked bays, though drivers of oversized commercial vans or vehicles with rooftop cargo racks should observe the posted vehicle height clearance of 7 feet 0 inches (2.13 meters).

Visitor & Driver Tips
Remember to keep your parking ticket with you when leaving your car, as several restaurants and retailers within SouthSide Works offer partial parking validation. If visiting during weekend evenings or riverfront festival dates, arrive a bit early to secure preferred lower-level parking.
