About this Location

Facility Overview

Located in the heart of Washington, D.C.'s Central Business District along the prestigious K Street corridor, the parking facility at 1050 20th St NW serves the landmark commercial property historically dedicated as the William P. Rogers Building (now integrated into the Alexander Court complex). Managed by Colonial Parking (Facility Lot #169), this modern, multi-level underground parking facility provides secure, climate-protected subterranean parking in one of the District's most bustling commercial sectors. The facility is well-lit, fully paved, and staffed with professional parking attendants during weekday business hours, offering both self-park and valet-assist options during peak times.

Drivers should take note of vehicle suitability prior to arrival. Due to standard underground garage architecture, the garage features a typical vertical height clearance of 6 feet 2 inches to 6 feet 4 inches. Standard passenger vehicles, sedans, compact crossovers, and standard mid-size SUVs navigate the facility comfortably. However, oversized pickup trucks, lifted utility vehicles, high-roof conversion vans, and vehicles equipped with roof racks, cargo boxes, or cycling carriers may exceed clearance limits and are advised to seek nearby open-air surface lots or street parking along surrounding avenues.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Observe Public Operating Hours: While monthly contract parkers enjoy 24/7 keycard gate access, general transient and daily visitors must exit prior to evening garage closure (typically 7:00 PM Monday through Friday). Confirm hours with the on-site attendant upon entry.
Pre-Book During Busy Weekdays: Mid-week mornings (Tuesday through Thursday) see heavy corporate commuter demand. Booking your spot in advance through mobile parking apps guarantees space availability at discounted rates.
Key Check Policy: If the garage transitions to attendant-assisted valet parking during peak periods, you may be requested to leave your vehicle ignition key with the valet booth attendant.
GPS Address Guidance: Set your navigation system directly to 1050 20th St NW, Washington, DC to arrive squarely at the vehicle garage portal on 20th Street, rather than the building's pedestrian lobbies on K Street or L Street.
