About this Location

Facility Overview

The Jefferson Plaza Garage at 1400 Crystal Drive provides secure, modern, multi-level covered parking in the heart of the bustling National Landing / Crystal City commercial corridor in Arlington, Virginia. Integrated beneath the 1400 Crystal Drive commercial complex, the facility protects vehicles from the elements year-round and offers a well-maintained, bright interior with clearly designated bays and directional arrows. Standard passenger sedans, crossovers, and compact-to-midsize SUVs navigate the facility with ease. Drivers operating full-size trucks, lifted SUVs, or high-roof commercial vans should pay close attention to posted entry height restrictions (typically around 6\'6\"), as overhead utility lines, sprinkler pipes, and ventilation ducting impose strict vertical limits common to subterranean office garages.
