About this Location

Facility Overview

Conveniently situated in the bustling heart of Arlington\'s Pentagon City neighborhood, the SP+ Parking facility at 1201 S Hayes Street offers premier garage parking in Northern Virginia. Positioned immediately adjacent to major retail, dining, and commercial anchors, this modern multi-level covered parking structure provides seamless, sheltered parking shielded from seasonal weather elements. Designed to handle high-volume retail and commuter traffic, the garage features wide driving lanes, clearly designated parking bays, and intuitive vehicular circulation patterns. Standard passenger cars, mid-size crossovers, and full-size SUVs can comfortably navigate and park across all levels. Standard parking garages in this corridor maintain a posted vertical height clearance of approximately 6 feet 8 inches (2.03 meters); therefore, tall commercial sprinter vans, vehicles with raised suspension kits, or cars with rooftop cargo carriers should check clearance signage prior to entry.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

This parking garage is located at the epicenter of shopping and dining in Pentagon City. Steps from the facility, visitors will find Fashion Centre at Pentagon City, boasting hundreds of retailers including Macy\'s, Apple, and Nordstrom, alongside popular eateries like Shake Shack, Matchbox, and True Food Kitchen. Across the street lies the Pentagon Centre shopping complex, home to major retail destinations including Costco Wholesale, Best Buy, and Marshalls. For outdoor recreation and civic points of interest, Virginia Highlands Park is just a short 5-minute stroll south, offering tennis courts, basketball courts, and open green space. The Pentagon and Pentagon Memorial are less than a mile away, and Amazon’s HQ2 at National Landing (Metropolitan Park) is within a comfortable 10-to-15 minute walk, making this parking facility a prime base for shoppers, contractors, and visiting professionals alike.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Access to the garage is smooth and efficient via South Hayes Street and 12th Street South, with multiple entry and exit lanes engineered to handle peak commute times and holiday shopping rushes. Motorists benefit from immediate arterial links to Interstate 395 (Shirley Memorial Highway), providing swift highway connections into Downtown Washington, D.C. across the 14th Street Bridge in roughly five minutes, as well as easy travel south toward Alexandria and Springfield. Public transportation connectivity is exceptional: the facility sits directly above or adjacent to the Pentagon City Metro Station, served by the WMATA Metrorail Blue and Yellow Lines. Multiple Arlington Transit (ART) and Metrobus routes converge along Hayes Street, providing seamless multimodal connections throughout the DMV capital region and to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) just one Metro stop away.

Visitor & Driver Tips

When arriving during peak retail hours—particularly on weekend afternoons and during the winter holiday shopping season—head directly to the upper or lower decks where open spaces are more abundant. Keep a record or photo of your parking level and pillar section number, as the multi-level layout can be deceptively vast. If you plan to attend meetings in D.C. or commute on the Metro, reserving your parking stall ahead of time via online parking apps guarantees your spot and often unlocks favorable early-bird discounts. Always observe interior posted clearance heights and adhere to one-way ramp rules to ensure a smooth and safe parking experience.
