ABOUT US
We Park Cars…

…and, make the people who drive those cars feel welcome and appreciated. Just as our parking customers feel comfortable with Colonial, so do property developers, owners and managers. A quick look at our company shows you why.

Start with our history and track record. In half a century, Colonial has never defaulted on a contract, nor had one terminated for failure to perform. More to the point, we’ve gained results: filling garages, increasing income for our clients, and boosting the value of parking assets.

Our local roots make a difference. In 1953, we started our business in Washington; 50 years later, we remain focused here. Our Leaders and Managers are leaders in dozens of Local Organizations. We know how metro DC works, develops and parks – as well as the real estate and economic trends that drive opportunity for property owners and developers.

We also focus on our desire to address all of the needs of our parking customers through convenient monthly account parking for regular parkers, to validation programs for guest and client parking, as well as conveniently located hourly and daily parking and Colonial’s own preferred parker program which provides cash-free, hassle-free, charge card parking for those who find themselves parking at various garages around the city.

There are 800 more reasons for our success: our people. Clients and patrons alike cite them as the most courteous employees in the industry. Our employees find a home with us, a place where they are valued and respected and a place where they like to stay – many have been with Colonial for decades.

Finally, our client services offer local and national real estate professionals access to all of the services that are needed to plan for, operate, improve, maintain and manage every type of parking facility serving all real estate products in the commercial office, hospitality, retail, mixed-use, residential, health care and institutional areas. All delivered from right here in Washington, DC, our home. That’s our mission.

No wonder the Washington area trusts the Colonial name.
