Self-storage facilities can be a reliable way to generate profit and are considered a steady investment. Careful choices in the design and construction of your facility can help to ensure your profitability.
We are self-storage experts. Not only have we built 37 self-storage projects in the greater Rochester area, and received national recognition for a few of our projects, but we also own and operate two self-storage facilities. Because we own and operate our own facilities, we have a different mindset than other designers. We know that every square foot you lease is income, so we think about design differently. That HVAC unit taking up interior space? What if we employed an energy-efficient and space-saving VRF unit instead? We think about snow removal, how gates operate, parking, and the successful operation of the business. We consider not just zoning laws and ordinances but the functionality of the building.
As part of our integrated design build process, our team of experts will offer you a full 360-degree view of your self-storage facility’s construction process, starting even before the ground is broken.
Site Location to Build a Self-Storage Facility
When determining where to build a self-storage facility, land costs, construction costs, population, competition and square footage are data points all business owners need to factor in when seeking a company to start construction.

Zoning Laws and Ordinances
Navigating the intricate landscape of zoning laws and ordinances is imperative in constructing a self-storage facility.
With our extensive experience in working on over 40 million square feet of property since 1981, our expert team possesses the knowledge and understanding of the specific zoning regulations in the Rochester area. This expertise allows us to guide you through the complex zoning process, saving you valuable time and resources while ensuring your project stays within budget.
Our experience as self-storage owner-operators combined with our knowledge of local regulations gives us the unique expertise to identify any opportunities for optimization and efficiency in the design-build of your self-storage facility.
Designing the Facility Based on Needs

Our design-build team will also consider additional requirements for any facility’s unique layout, including site preparation, setbacks, and easements.
