About this Location

Facility Overview

The 1100 Connecticut Avenue Garage, operated by LAZ Parking, is an underground commercial parking facility situated in the bustling heart of Washington, D.C.’s Golden Triangle and K Street business district. Positioned directly at the intersection of Connecticut Avenue NW and L Street NW, this well-maintained subterranean structure provides safe, covered parking for daily commuters, business professionals, and city visitors. The facility accommodates standard passenger vehicles, sedans, crossovers, and compact-to-midsize SUVs. However, as with most underground garages in downtown Washington, D.C., there is a strict vertical height clearance restriction (approximately 6 feet 2 inches), making it unsuitable for high-roof commercial vans, lifted pickup trucks, or vehicles equipped with roof racks.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Nestled in one of the capital\'s premier commercial and diplomatic corridors, this garage offers immediate access to an extensive array of corporate headquarters, legal offices, and dining destinations:

Farragut Square: Located just one block south (less than a 2-minute walk), serving as a central hub for food trucks, outdoor events, and park seating.
The White House & Lafayette Square: Situated approximately 5 blocks south (a convenient 10-minute walk down Connecticut Avenue or 17th Street).
K Street Corridor: Known globally as the center of advocacy, lobbying, and legal firms, beginning directly around the corner.
St. Matthew’s Cathedral: Located 3 blocks north on Rhode Island Avenue NW (a 5-minute walk).
Dupont Circle: Just a 7-minute walk north along Connecticut Avenue, offering renowned restaurants, historic row homes, and vibrant nightlife.
World Bank & International Monetary Fund (IMF): Situated within an 8 to 10-minute walk southwest.
Downtown Retail & Dining: Surrounded by popular dining spots such as Morton\'s The Steakhouse, The Palm, Daily Grill, and numerous quick-service cafes.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Ingress to the garage is typically accessed via the designated alleyway or access lane off L Street NW or 17th Street NW, avoiding the heavy pedestrian flow along Connecticut Avenue. Navigating downtown D.C. can involve one-way street grids and peak-hour restrictions, so drivers are advised to program their GPS directly to the alley entry point. For multimodal commuters, transit connectivity is unmatched: the entrance to the Farragut North Metro Station (serving the Red Line) is located directly adjacent to the building, while the Farragut West Metro Station (serving the Blue, Orange, and Silver Lines) is just two blocks south on I Street NW. Major thoroughfares including K Street, 16th Street NW, and Massachusetts Avenue NW connect smoothly to regional routes such as I-66, the Rock Creek and Potomac Parkway, and US-29.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Book in Advance: Utilize parking apps like SpotHero or ParkMobile to secure guaranteed spaces and access discounted early-bird or daily flat rates.
Verify Entry Instructions: Pay close attention to garage directional signs on L Street NW and 17th Street NW to enter the correct alleyway access point without circling the block.
