About this Location

Facility Overview

The Parking Garage at 1100 16th St NW provides modern, covered subterranean parking situated in the vibrant downtown commercial core of Washington, DC. Nestled at the prominent corner of 16th Street NW and L Street NW, this multi-level underground parking facility serves as a vital transportation anchor for business executives, government contractors, legal professionals, and tourists exploring the capital. Designed to accommodate standard passenger sedans, compact crossovers, and mid-size SUVs, the garage features smooth asphalt drive aisles, clear striping, and dedicated parking bays. However, like many historic downtown Washington parking decks, vertical clearance is restricted to standard vehicle heights (typically 6\'4\" clearance), making it unsuitable for high-roof commercial vans, lifted pickup trucks, or vehicles equipped with rooftop cargo boxes or bike racks.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Access to the garage is straightforward from 16th Street NW or via the adjacent alleyway connections from L Street NW. Because 16th Street is a major north-south arterial route in the District, traffic during morning and evening rush hours can be dense, with designated bus-only lanes operating during peak periods; drivers should pay close attention to lane signage when making turns. For multi-modal commuters, the garage offers exceptional public transit proximity. The Farragut North Metro Station (Red Line) is approximately a 5-minute walk southwest, while the Farragut West and McPherson Square stations (Blue, Orange, and Silver Lines) are within an easy 6-to-8-minute walk, providing seamless access to Northern Virginia, Maryland, and regional transit hubs like Union Station.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Downtown DC experiences heavy traffic and parking congestion on weekdays between 7:30 AM – 9:30 AM and 4:30 PM – 6:30 PM. To guarantee a space and secure the best rates, commuters and weekend visitors are strongly advised to reserve a parking pass ahead of time using digital parking reservation apps.

Always double-check your vehicle antenna and roof clearance before proceeding down the entry ramp.
