We’re excited to showcase this impressive new multistory self-storage facility in Phoenix, Arizona!

Spanning 111,728 square feet, this facility stands out with its barn-inspired exterior, striking gabled rooflines, rich earth tones and prominent silo-style centerpiece. It’s an awesome build that brings distinctive character to a large-scale storage facility.

Congratulations to Sales Manager Cody Lopez and Project Manager Raul Gonzales on bringing this project to completion!

A lot of developers see a vacant mall, a dark office building, or an empty warehouse and think the same thing: this could be self storage.
Sometimes it can. Sometimes the building has other plans.

Column spacing, clear height, slab condition, zoning. None of that shows up on a drive-by walkthrough, but it's exactly what decides whether a conversion pencils out or turns into a money pit.

If you're eyeing a building, we put together an interactive checklist so you can check off what you already know and see what's still worth digging into before you buy: https://na2.hubs.ly/H06V5jY0

Vacant doesn't mean ready. But it might mean opportunity.

What if the future of self-storage isn't about building more storage—but building smarter?
Our Director of Business Development, Sarah Swingler, explores that idea in her latest article for Modern Storage Media, introducing the concept of Convergent Storage Development.
As customer needs evolve and land becomes more valuable, tomorrow's most successful developments may combine self-storage with complementary uses like flex space, boat & RV storage, portable storage, and light industrial applications—all thoughtfully designed to work together as one cohesive ecosystem.
It's a look at where the industry is heading and why the next generation of storage development will be defined by adaptability, integration, and long-term performance.

The self-storage industry has never stood still—and it isn’t about to start now.
