About this Location

Facility Overview

Situated in the heart of Downtown Washington, D.C., at 1001 16th St NW, this prime commercial parking garage offers sheltered, subterranean parking just steps from the capital\'s power corridors. Located near the intersection of 16th Street NW and K Street NW, the garage features an efficient layout tailored for business commuters, government officials, tourists, and evening diners. Due to its underground multi-level configuration, standard passenger sedans, compact crossovers, and mid-size SUVs can park effortlessly. Drivers of full-size SUVs, extended pickup trucks, and vehicles equipped with roof racks or cargo carriers should check posted clearance measurements (typically around 6 feet 2 inches to 6 feet 6 inches in downtown D.C. office garages) before entry. Oversized commercial vans and trailers cannot be accommodated.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Traffic along 16th Street and K Street intensifies significantly during weekday peak commuting hours (7:30 AM – 9:30 AM and 4:30 PM – 6:30 PM); plan extra time for arrival and departure. Reserving your parking spot in advance through online booking applications is strongly recommended, as day-of drive-up rates in downtown Washington can be higher and spaces fill quickly during peak business days. Ensure your headlights are turned on upon entering the lower decks, note your exact parking level and bay number before taking the elevator up, and retain your parking ticket if using paper-based validation.
