Facility Overview
Lot #177 is a centrally situated open-air surface parking facility located at 1111 NW Davis Street in the heart of Portland\'s vibrant Pearl District. Occupying prime real estate between NW 11th and NW 12th Avenues, this easily accessible ground-level parking lot offers an expansive, straightforward layout designed to accommodate everyday urban travelers, business patrons, and leisure visitors. Because it is a completely uncovered surface lot, Lot #177 boasts no overhead clearance limits, making it uniquely well-suited for high-profile vehicles such as lifted pickup trucks, full-size commercial work vans, large SUVs with rooftop cargo boxes, and vehicles equipped with bike racks that typically struggle with clearance in downtown Portland parking garages.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
Situated in one of the Pacific Northwest\'s premier urban shopping and culinary destinations, Lot #177 places drivers steps away from top cultural and entertainment venues. Powell\'s City of Books—the world-renowned independent bookstore occupying an entire city block—is just two blocks south (a quick 3-minute walk). Theatre enthusiasts will appreciate being less than a block away from the Gerding Theater at the Armory (home of Portland Center Stage). Beer connoisseurs and foodies are perfectly positioned directly adjacent to Deschutes Brewery Portland Public House, with 10 Barrel Brewing, Von Ebert Brewing, and countless gourmet eateries, boutique coffee shops, and contemporary art galleries located within a 5-minute stroll. Sports fans heading to Providence Park for Portland Timbers and Thorns soccer matches can comfortably walk to the stadium in roughly 15 minutes or hop on nearby transit.
Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Ingress and egress to Lot #177 are smooth and direct via NW Davis Street, which connects cleanly to the Pearl District\'s gridded street network. Reaching major arteries is simple: drivers can quickly link up with West Burnside Street to head west or east, or connect to I-405 via NW 14th or 15th Avenues for fast freeway travel toward I-5, US-26, and the greater Portland metro area. For public transit connections, the Portland Streetcar (NS Line and CL Line) operates along NW 10th and NW 11th Avenues just a few paces from the lot, providing rapid connections to Portland State University, the South Waterfront, and the Lloyd District. TriMet bus lines crisscross nearby Burnside Street, and the MAX Light Rail lines at Galleria/SW 10th Ave are accessible within an easy 8-minute walk.

Visitor & Driver Tips
Because the Pearl District is a bustling hotspot on Friday and Saturday evenings and during First Thursday art walks, parking spaces fill quickly; arriving 15 to 20 minutes prior to reservation times or show curtain calls is strongly recommended. Keep note of your vehicle\'s license plate number before walking away, as on-site payment terminals and mobile parking applications typically utilize pay-by-plate verification. As with all downtown urban surface lots, remember to practice common vehicle safety by locking all doors and keeping shopping bags, electronics, and personal valuables completely hidden or taking them with you.
