Facility Overview

Situated in the heart of Washington, D.C.’s vibrant East End commercial corridor, the garage at 700 13th Street NW provides premium subterranean parking beneath the Metro Center One office tower. This managed underground facility features paved, well-marked parking bays, clear directional signage, and direct elevator connections to street-level retail and office spaces. Because this is a standard subterranean garage, drivers should take careful note of vehicle clearances: the facility enforces a maximum height limit of 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 meters). While compact sedans, standard station wagons, crossover hatchbacks, and small mid-size vehicles navigate comfortably, oversized pickup trucks, large three-row SUVs, conversion vans, and vehicles with rooftop cargo racks exceed spatial parameters and cannot be accommodated.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Positioned at the intersection of 13th Street NW and G Street NW, this parking facility places drivers within convenient walking distance of top cultural venues, historic landmarks, and retail destinations across Downtown DC and the Penn Quarter district:

• The White House & President’s Park: Located just 3 to 4 blocks west (approximately an 8-minute walk), ideal for government visits, advocacy meetings, and sightseeing.
• Historic Theatres: Ford’s Theatre, the Warner Theatre, and The National Theatre are all within a 3 to 6-minute stroll (0.2 miles south).
• Capital One Arena: Situated roughly 0.5 miles east (a direct 10-minute walk down F or G Street), making it a reliable staging hub for Washington Capitals hockey, Wizards basketball, and major concerts.
• CityCenterDC: A premier luxury shopping and dining destination just 0.3 miles northeast (under a 6-minute walk).
• Smithsonian Museums: The Smithsonian American Art Museum and the National Portrait Gallery sit just 0.4 miles away, with the National Mall and its iconic monuments within a 12 to 15-minute walk.
• Prominent Dining: Steps away from iconic eateries including Old Ebbitt Grill, The Hamilton, Ocean Prime, and Mastro’s Steakhouse.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Ingress to the garage is located along 13th Street NW between G Street NW and H Street NW. Because 13th Street is a primary one-way southbound thoroughfare, motorists should plan their approach from H Street NW, New York Avenue, or K Street NW. Post-event departures flow efficiently south toward Pennsylvania Avenue NW or Constitution Avenue (U.S. Route 50), which provides direct connections to Interstate 395 and Interstate 66 crossing the Potomac River into Northern Virginia.

For park-and-ride flexibility, the location is immediately adjacent to the Metro Center Station entrance (serving the Red, Blue, Orange, and Silver Lines), allowing motorists to store their vehicle in a protected space and explore the entire National Capital Region via public transit.
