About this Location

Overview & Suitability

Metropolis, located on Stillman Street, is a premier covered parking facility serving the heart of downtown Providence.

It caters specifically to passenger vehicles and provides convenient access for guests of the Park Row Apartments and surrounding business centers.

Access, Dimensions & Clearance

The facility features a maximum vehicle clearance height of 6\'0\".

  • Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations
  • On-site car wash and auto detailing services
