Facility Overview
Situated in the beating heart of downtown Bethesda, One Parking - The Wilson & The Elm serves the premier mixed-use development at 7272 Wisconsin Avenue. This modern, multi-level subterranean parking garage provides clean, well-illuminated, and secure spaces directly beneath The Wilson (a state-of-the-art trophy office tower) and The Elm (luxury high-rise residential towers). The structure is engineered with wide travel lanes, clear bay demarcations, and high-efficiency circulation designed to accommodate standard passenger sedans, crossovers, minivans, and full-size SUVs. Drivers of lifted pickup trucks or high-roof commercial vans should note the subterranean entrance height clearance limit (typically 6 feet 8 inches to 7 feet), making it unsuitable for oversized commercial vehicles or rooftop-cargo-equipped overland trucks.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
The facility boasts an unrivaled, transit-oriented location directly connected to Bethesda\'s most active corporate, retail, and entertainment corridors:
- Bethesda Row (3–5 min walk): The premier outdoor shopping and dining destination in Montgomery County, featuring upscale boutiques, the Apple Store, Landmark Bethesda Row Cinema, and acclaimed eateries such as Mon Ami Gabi, Hawkers, and Luke\'s Lobster.
- Capital Crescent Trail: The popular multi-use paved trail passes right next to the development, offering easy access for runners, cyclists, and outdoor enthusiasts.
- Marriott International Global Headquarters: Located just blocks away along Wisconsin Avenue, making this an excellent satellite parking choice for business meetings and corporate visitors.
- Round House Theatre & Imagination Stage: Within an 8 to 10-minute stroll, providing convenient evening and matinee parking for theatergoers.
- Downtown Bethesda Dining Hub: Steps from Woodmont Triangle and Bethesda Avenue culinary staples, craft breweries, and trendy cocktail lounges.
Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Vehicle ingress and egress are positioned off Elm Street and 47th Street, allowing drivers to bypass the heaviest stop-and-go congestion directly on Wisconsin Avenue (MD-355). Reaching the garage is straightforward from the Capital Beltway (I-495) via Wisconsin Avenue heading south, or east from River Road via Bradley Boulevard. Pedestrian connections are second to none: the garage sits directly integrated with the Bethesda Metro Station (Red Line) and the terminus portal for the future MTA Purple Line light rail, offering unprecedented multi-modal connections throughout Washington, D.C., Silver Spring, and Northern Virginia.

Visitor & Driver Tips
During weekday morning (8:00 AM – 9:30 AM) and evening (4:30 PM – 6:30 PM) commute hours, Elm Street and Wisconsin Avenue experience moderate vehicle density; plan an extra five minutes for your approach. Pre-booking a parking reservation via mobile apps can guarantee a stall and unlock competitive early-bird or evening discount tariffs. Before driving down the ramp, check your vehicle antenna or rooftop racks to ensure compliance with posted subterranean vertical clearances, and take a quick photo of your parking level and column identifier to locate your vehicle effortlessly upon return.
