REIT will offer 750 nearby parking spaces at a flat rate of $5 starting next week.

Washington REIT is opening a 750-space parking garage to the general public for evening and weekend use for Braddock Metro riders, starting next Tuesday, July 7, the company announced today.

Braddock Metro Center’s garage will offer public parking from 6 to 10 p.m. Monday through Friday, and from 8 a.m. to 2 a.m. on Saturdays, at a flat rate of $5.

Located at 1310-1340 Braddock Place in Alexandria, Braddock Metro Center is a 360,540 square foot office campus that houses the central offices of the Alexandria City Public Schools and other tenants. Its underground garage has more spaces than any other parking facility within walking distance of an Alexandria Metro station.

In addition to using the Braddock Metro Center garage to access Metro, members of the public can park there to dine and shop in the immediate area, which is located on the northern end of Old Town Alexandria.

Washington REIT decided to offer public parking in Alexandria after doing the same at Silverline Center, a recently renovated “one of a kind” office building in Tysons. This 526,000 SF office complex at 7900 Westpark Drive is located within easy walking distance of the Tysons Corner Metro station.
