Facility Overview

Conveniently situated in the bustling heart of Downtown Washington, D.C., the parking facility at 1234-1270 E St NW offers a secure and accessible parking solution managed under professional Parking Management operations. Positioned between 12th and 13th Streets NW, just north of Pennsylvania Avenue, this covered multi-level underground parking facility provides direct access to prime government buildings, corporate headquarters, historic venues, and iconic tourist destinations. The garage features well-striped standard and compact vehicle stalls, clear interior signage, and designated accessible spaces. Due to standard underground structure constraints, vertical clearance is capped at approximately 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m), making it ideal for standard passenger cars, crossovers, sedans, and compact SUVs. Drivers with lifted trucks, large commercial vans, or roof-mounted equipment should verify clearance before entering or consider nearby surface lot alternatives.

Visitor & Driver Tips

When attending evening performances at the Warner Theatre or National Theatre, expect heavier traffic on E Street NW; arriving 30 to 45 minutes ahead of curtain call ensures a smooth parking process. Take note of your parking level and pillar number before heading up to the street to make vehicle retrieval effortless. Weekday mornings experience rush-hour congestion around 12th and 14th Streets, so budgeting a few extra travel minutes is recommended. If booking online through third-party apps, have your digital barcode or reservation pass ready to scan at the gate terminal upon arrival.
