Facility Overview
The Metropolis parking facility, located at 1145 19th St NW, Washington, DC, provides a professional and secure parking solution situated in the heart of the Golden Triangle. This facility is a multi-level structure that primarily serves the dense business district. It is designed to accommodate standard passenger cars and mid-sized SUVs. Due to the nature of central DC subterranean or deck parking, drivers of oversized pickup trucks, high-roof conversion vans, or vehicles with rooftop cargo equipment should exercise caution as vertical clearance is typically capped at approximately 6 feet 8 inches.
