About this Location

Facility Overview

Lot 877 - Peoples Building is a well-positioned parking facility situated at 31 O St NE in the dynamic NoMa (North of Massachusetts Avenue) neighborhood of Washington, DC. Operating primarily as an easily accessible open-air surface parking lot, this facility offers an uncomplicated and dependable parking experience in one of the District\'s fastest-growing commercial and residential corridors. Because it is an open surface lot without overhead garage ceiling restrictions, it accommodates a broad range of passenger vehicles that frequently encounter difficulties in subterranean District garages, including full-size pickup trucks (such as Ford F-150s and Chevy Silverados), large SUVs, conversion vans, and commercial service vehicles requiring generous vertical clearance.
