About this Location

Facility Overview

Situated in the heart of the thriving North Bethesda and Rockville commercial district, Nicholson Lane East 1 Lot (managed by Atlantic Services Group) is an automated open-air surface parking facility located at 5640 Nicholson Lane. Serving the Woodglen Office Park complex and surrounding retail corridors, this lot offers a straightforward, unobstructed self-park layout with drive aisles designed for efficient vehicle turnaround.

Because the facility is a flat, surface-level lot, there are no low-hanging overhead pipes, clearance bars, or garage ceiling restrictions to navigate. As a result, standard passenger sedans, oversized SUVs, commercial delivery vehicles, lifted pickup trucks, high-roof conversion vans, and dual-axle work trucks can easily maneuver and park without clearance concerns.
