Facility Overview

The SP+ Parking garage situated at 5530 Wisconsin Avenue offers premium, covered parking at the vibrant boundary between Chevy Chase and Bethesda, Maryland. Operating as a subterranean multi-level parking deck beneath a prominent commercial and medical professional building, this garage provides clean, weather-protected stalls configured for standard passenger cars, sedans, crossovers, and mid-size SUVs. Drivers of oversized vehicles, lifted pickup trucks, and high-roof conversion vans should observe posted clearance height restrictions (typically around 6 feet 6 inches) and wide turning radiuses when navigating the subterranean ramps.
