Facility Overview
Situated in the northern sector of Portland's vibrant Pearl District, the Parking NW - MachineWorks Building Garage (Facility L254) provides clean, secure, covered off-street parking at 1104 NW 15th Avenue. This facility is an above-grade, multi-level structured parking deck integrated into the historic and commercial fabric of the MachineWorks/Reid Pacific property development. Designed with a maximum vehicle vertical clearance of 7 feet 0 inches (7'0"), the garage easily accommodates compact cars, standard sedans, crossovers, and stock full-size SUVs or standard light pickup trucks. However, high-roof commercial vans, lifted trucks, and vehicles equipped with oversized roof boxes or bike racks exceeding the 7-foot ceiling threshold cannot enter and should seek open surface parking nearby.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
Located in the heart of the Pearl District's lively commercial and residential corridor, the garage serves as a primary parking destination for building tenants, clients, and area visitors:
- On-Site Tenants: Serves patrons and clients of the Portland Dermatology Clinic and LA Fitness situated within the complex.
- Fitness & Recreation: Movement Climbing, Yoga & Fitness (formerly Planet Granite) is just two blocks away (4-minute walk), making this garage convenient for active climbers and gym members.

The garage entrance and exit are situated directly on NW 15th Avenue, located conveniently between NW Marshall Street and NW Northrup Street.

Re-entering regional freeways is equally straightforward, with quick access to the I-405 on-ramps via NW 16th Avenue and NW Glisan Street.
