Facility Overview
Lot 490 - Euram Bldg, located at 1495 New Hampshire Ave NW, is a strategically positioned parking facility serving the vibrant Dupont Circle neighborhood of Washington, D.C. This site primarily functions as a commercial parking deck associated with the Euram Building. Given its urban environment, the facility is best suited for standard passenger vehicles, sedans, and compact SUVs. Drivers of large pickup trucks or high-roof commercial vans should exercise caution, as urban parking structures in this historic district often feature lower ceiling clearances and tighter turning radii common to mid-century architectural designs.
