Facility Overview
The InterPark garage at 700 13th St NW provides premier, covered underground parking in the bustling commercial heart of Downtown Washington, DC. Integrated seamlessly into a prominent Class-A office building, this facility features a secure, multi-level subterranean layout that shields vehicles from the elements year-round. The garage is tailored primarily for standard passenger sedans, compact crossovers, and mid-size SUVs. Due to subterranean structural constraints, there is a maximum vertical height clearance typically posted around 6 feet 2 inches (1.88 m), meaning full-size conversion vans, high-roof cargo vehicles, and lifted pickup trucks should seek alternative surface parking in the district.

Visitor & Driver Tips
Because 13th Street NW is a heavily traversed southbound route, plan extra time when arriving during morning or evening peak rush hours. Downtown DC experiences significant traffic shifts when events occur at nearby Capital One Arena or downtown theaters; reserving your parking space ahead of time through digital reservation platforms such as SpotHero or ParkMobile guarantees your spot and frequently locks in discounted flat rates. Always double-check your vehicle height, remove any high roof racks or cargo carriers before proceeding down the entry ramp, and note your parking level number before taking the elevator to street level.
