Facility Overview
Located at 1717 Pennsylvania Ave NW, this parking facility is situated in the heart of Washington D.C.\'s prestigious Foggy Bottom and Downtown business district. The facility offers secure, covered parking options typical of high-end office buildings in the area. It is well-suited for standard passenger sedans, mid-size SUVs, and smaller crossover vehicles. Due to the historical nature of the surrounding architecture and underground infrastructure, drivers with oversized pickup trucks, high-roof conversion vans, or vehicles equipped with roof-mounted cargo carriers should exercise caution and verify clearance height at the point of entry.

Visitor & Driver Tips
We highly recommend pre-booking your space via mobile parking applications to secure your spot, especially during high-profile political events or demonstrations in the capital. GPS navigation may occasionally be affected by urban canyons; ensure you look for the official parking signage rather than relying solely on the pin drop. Always verify the maximum height clearance at the garage entrance before proceeding into the structure to avoid any potential vehicle damage.
