Franklin Self Storage is an industrial property converted to a storage facility.
One of the advantages of conversion projects is that even when a municipality may not allow construction of a new storage facility, they may allow the conversion of an existing vacant building.
Reusing a vacant building improves a community by restoring the tax base and renovates a blighted structure.
The construction time is also much shorter than conventional construction.
In some cases, developers have been able to build traditional drive up storage on the land that accompanied their conversion project. These properties offer developers an excellent opportunity to build in locations where they otherwise could not.
