Facility Overview

Located in the heart of Downtown Washington, DC, the SP+ Parking garage at 1220 L St NW provides safe, climate-protected subterranean parking within a modern commercial building. Positioned between 12th and 13th Streets NW, this multi-level underground parking deck is an ideal base for business professionals, government contractors, convention delegates, and tourists visiting the nation\'s capital. The garage offers well-lit, striped bays and smooth vehicle navigation. Due to subterranean ceiling restrictions typical of commercial office towers in the District (standard vertical clearance of approximately 6\'4\"), the garage is well-suited for standard passenger cars, midsize crossovers, compact SUVs, and sedans. Drivers operating full-size lifted trucks, vehicles with rooftop cargo carriers, or high-roof commercial passenger vans should seek surface alternatives nearby.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Because L Street NW is a one-way westbound street, plan your route to approach from 11th or 12th Street NW to make a smooth approach into the garage ramp. Commuters aiming for maximum savings should arrive before 9:00 AM on weekdays to take advantage of discounted Early Bird rates when available. If you plan to attend a major event at the convention center, pre-booking your space via mobile apps such as SpotHero or ParkMobile is highly recommended to guarantee stall availability before arrival.
