StorQuest Self Storage Opens 2 New Centers in Mile High City

Following tremendous apartment development and residential downsizing in the Denver, CO, area, StorQuest Self Storage is opening two new locations this month. The facilities provide ample storage for active Coloradoans needing space to store paddleboards, bicycles, motorcycles and camping equipment as well as winter-sport toys.

The StorQuest located at 5301 DTC Blvd. in Greenwood Village, 20 minutes south of downtown, opened in early November. It offers ground level units with covered loading docks, round-the-clock digital surveillance and climate-controlled units near Denver Tech Center. A second location at 549 Kalamath Street near downtown will open later in the month.

These two new StorQuest facilities bring to 15 the total number of locations in the Denver area. StorQuest self Storage is owned by The William Warren Group, Inc.

Arizona Developer Partners with US Storage Centers in Southern California

An Arizona-based developer has purchased two industrial properties in Southern California that it intends to convert to Class-A self storage. 

Wentworth Storage Company LLC purchased a 90,000-square foot industrial building in Eastlake Village and an 82,000-square-foot building in San Diego in October.

“Each property is located in a high demand area and will provide local residents and businesses with a positive rental experience,” said Dave King, vice president of Self Storage for Wentworth. “These two properties are good additions to our southern California portfolio that we have focused on growing over the past 12 months.”

Wentworth plans to convert the Eastlake Village property to fully climate controlled self storage with more than 100,000 rentable square feet. The San Diego property will also offer 100,000 square feet of climate controlled rentable space after the conversion. Both facilities will open in 2017.
