Facility Overview
The Gantry Garage is an underground, structured parking facility situated beneath The Gantry residential and retail complex at 300 Morse St NE in Washington, DC\'s vibrant Union Market District. Offering fully covered, weather-protected vehicle bays, this modern facility is designed for both residential tenants and visitors exploring the surrounding neighborhood. The facility comfortably accommodates standard passenger cars, compact vehicles, crossovers, and mid-size SUVs. Drivers of full-size trucks, lifted SUVs, or high-roof commercial vans should pay close attention to the standard parking garage clearance height (typically 6\'8\" to 7\'0\"), which precludes oversized freight vehicles and rooftop cargo carriers.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
Located in the heart of one of the District\'s most dynamic culinary and cultural corridors, The Gantry Garage puts you steps away from numerous premier destinations:
- Union Market: Just a 2-minute stroll (less than 500 feet) to DC’s world-class artisan food hall, rooftop bars, and vendor stalls.
- La Cosecha: Located directly across the street, offering a contemporary Latin American culinary and cultural marketplace.
- Gallaudet University: Approximately a 6-to-8-minute walk to the historic campus gates along Florida Avenue.
- NoMa Entertainment & Dining: A quick 5-to-10-minute walk brings you into the heart of NoMa’s bustling tech corridor, breweries, and retail storefronts.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Ingress and egress are situated along Morse Street NE between 4th Street NE and Neal Place NE. The garage offers smooth traffic flow, although Morse Street and 4th Street can experience pedestrian and delivery vehicle congestion during peak weekend market hours. Drivers enjoy convenient arterial access to New York Avenue NE (US Route 50) and Florida Avenue NE, connecting quickly to Interstate 395 and downtown corridors. For public transit users, the NoMa-Gallaudet U (New York Ave) Metro Station on the Red Line is roughly a 7-minute walk (0.4 miles) away, offering seamless rail connections to Union Station, Metro Center, and Dupont Circle.

Visitor & Driver Tips
During peak brunch hours, Saturday afternoons, and Sunday food hall rushes, Morse Street can see heavy foot traffic; approach slowly and watch for delivery couriers and pedestrians. If you are visiting during peak weekend market hours, consider reserving your space in advance via mobile parking applications to ensure seamless entry. Note your exact parking level and bay column number prior to taking the elevator to the street level.
