About this Location

Facility Overview

Pearl Auto Park, operated by Parking NW (Lot #L177), is a centrally positioned multi-level covered parking garage in the heart of Portland\'s vibrant Pearl District. Located at 1111 NW Davis Street, between NW 11th and NW 12th Avenues, this facility offers dependable, sheltered off-street parking in one of the city\'s highest-density cultural and commercial areas. The facility features standard marked stalls, clear interior signage, and designated accessible spaces. With a posted vehicle height clearance of 6 feet 10 inches (2.08 meters), the structure comfortably accommodates standard passenger cars, crossovers, minivans, and mid-sized SUVs. However, drivers of oversized commercial vans, lifted trucks, or roof-rack-mounted vehicles should verify their total clearance before entering.

Please note that the basement level has restricted access rules; follow posted signage to park in the designated general public levels.
