Facility Overview

The Parking Management Inc (PMI) garage at 1227 20th St NW offers secure, subterranean covered parking in the vibrant Golden Triangle and Dupont Circle commercial corridor of Washington, DC. Located along 20th Street NW between M Street and N Street, this multi-level underground parking facility serves surrounding commercial office buildings, retail establishments, and upscale neighborhood dining. The facility is equipped with dedicated entrance and exit lanes, clearly marked parking stalls, and bright interior illumination. Because this is a standard commercial office garage with a typical vertical clearance limit of approximately 6 feet 2 inches, it is ideally configured for standard passenger sedans, compact cars, crossovers, and mid-size SUVs. Oversized commercial vans, camper vans, and lifted full-size pickup trucks exceeding clearance thresholds will need to seek open-air surface alternatives in the district.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Because 20th Street NW is a one-way southbound street, drivers should plan their approach route carefully from N Street or New Hampshire Avenue NW. Peak inbound traffic generally occurs between 8:00 AM and 9:30 AM on weekdays; arriving slightly before the morning rush ensures prompt entry and space selection. If you are visiting for an all-day conference or special event, pre-booking your space via mobile parking applications can secure discounted early-bird rates. Always verify height clearances at the ramp entrance if driving an SUV equipped with roof boxes or bicycle racks.
