About this Location

Facility Overview

LAZ Parking 800 North Capitol Garage is a secure, multi-level subterranean parking facility situated beneath the prominent commercial office building at 800 North Capitol Street NW. Positioned at the intersection of Washington, D.C.’s NoMa and Capitol Hill districts, this facility provides an exceptional parking solution for government workers, legal professionals, and rail commuters. The garage features well-marked stalls, smooth asphalt and concrete driving surfaces, and an elevator system linking directly to the main building lobby and street level. Standard passenger sedans, crossovers, and compact SUVs can navigate the interior ramps and parking decks comfortably. However, due to standard subterranean clearance limits (typically 6 feet 6 inches), oversized commercial vans, lifted pickup trucks, and vehicles with rooftop cargo equipment or ski boxes should exercise caution and verify posted clearance signage at the driveway entrance.
