Facility Overview

Situated in the heart of Downtown Washington, D.C. at 1455 K St NW, this prime commercial parking facility provides direct access to the bustling K Street corridor and the surrounding central business and political districts. The garage operates as a modern, multi-level underground parking structure serving the prestigious 1455 K Street Class-A office building and visiting public. The facility features paved interior ramps, well-marked parking stalls, and automated barrier systems. Standard passenger cars, crossovers, and mid-size SUVs will find ample space and maneuvering room; however, as with most commercial underground garages in downtown D.C., there is a standard clearance limit of 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 meters). Drivers of lifted trucks, commercial vans, or vehicles equipped with roof cargo racks should check their total clearance prior to entry.

Visitor & Driver Tips

• Mind the K Street Service Lanes: K Street uses dedicated express lanes and local service lanes. Signal early and merge into the outer service lane as you approach 14th and 15th Streets NW to avoid missing the garage turn.
• Book in Advance for Peak Hours: Weekday mornings between 8:00 AM and 10:00 AM see peak commuter arrivals. Reserving a spot in advance through parking apps can lock in lower daily rates and guarantee your stall.
• Keep Your Ticket or App Confirmation Handy: Retain your physical parking ticket or digital QR code, as it is required to access pedestrian lobby doors during off-peak hours and to settle payment at the exit gate.
• Height Restrictions: Keep roof accessories in mind. Vehicles exceeding 6\'4\" should consider nearby surface lots or high-clearance garages closer to the convention center.
