Facility Overview
Conveniently situated at 1101 15th Street NW in the bustling heart of Downtown Washington, D.C., this SP+ Parking garage offers secure, professional underground parking tailored for commuters, business professionals, and weekend visitors. Located between L Street NW and M Street NW, this subterranean facility provides sheltered protection from regional weather extremes, featuring well-lit drive lanes, clear stall markings, and elevator access directly to street level. Due to standard underground garage architecture, vehicle height clearance is approximately 6 feet 2 inches to 6 feet 4 inches. Standard passenger sedans, coupes, compact crossovers, and small SUVs enter and navigate comfortably, while lifted trucks, large commercial cargo vans, and vehicles equipped with high roof racks will exceed the maximum height limits and should seek open-air alternatives nearby.
