Facility Overview
The One Parking garage located at 1350 I Street NW (also known as 1350 Eye Street NW) is a premier subterranean parking facility set within the vibrant core of Downtown Washington, DC. Situated directly across from historic Franklin Park, this multi-level underground garage provides secure, weather-protected parking for daily commuters, government officials, tourists, and evening visitors. The facility features clearly marked lanes, smooth ramp transitions, and dedicated parking bays designed primarily for standard passenger sedans, compact vehicles, crossovers, and standard-sized SUVs. Due to an underground vertical clearance restriction of approximately 6 feet 2 inches (1.88 meters), vehicles such as commercial cargo vans, high-roof conversion vans, and lifted pickup trucks with roof cargo racks cannot be accommodated.

Visitor & Driver Tips
Because I Street NW is a heavily traveled one-way street carrying eastbound traffic, drivers should position themselves in the right-hand lane after crossing 14th Street NW to prepare for entry. Morning rush hours (8:00 AM to 9:30 AM) and evening departures (4:30 PM to 6:00 PM) experience peak congestion around Franklin Park. Early reservation through mobile parking platforms is highly recommended to secure early-bird discounts and guaranteed entry, particularly on convention days and major downtown civic events. Always confirm clearance heights before entering if operating a mid-size or large sport utility vehicle equipped with roof crossbars.
