Yes, and it is one of the most common uses here. Enclosed, insulated units from about 600 to 2,220 square feet give online sellers and local retailers real inventory capacity with drive-up access, concrete floors and 16-foot ceilings, on month-to-month terms rather than a warehouse lease.
Yes. Freight and carrier deliveries can be brought directly to your unit, as long as you are there when the delivery arrives. Sixty-foot concrete drive aisles give freight vehicles room to reach your door rather than staging in a lot.
Yes. Carriers can schedule outbound pickups from the property, as long as you are present when the shipment is picked up. Most sellers set pickup windows around their own time at the unit.
Yes. Tenants can install their own shelving and pallet racking, and with 16-foot ceilings you can go three or four levels high — which is what turns a floor-space problem into a much smaller unit. Racking or shelving mounted to the floor or the walls needs the owner's approval before it is installed.
Tenants can do minor work inside their unit, but no retail activity is allowed, so the unit is a place to store and handle stock rather than to sell to customers in person. Units have 120-volt outlets and fluorescent lighting, which covers a label printer and a packing table.
No, and the distinction matters. A 3PL stores, picks, packs and ships on your behalf for a per-order fee. A storage unit gives you the space and you do the work — which costs far less and keeps you in control of your inventory, but only makes sense if you or your team are doing the handling.
A standard pallet takes about 13 square feet of floor, but you need aisle room to reach it, so budget closer to double that per pallet position if you are not racking. Racking to three or four levels changes the math substantially. The size calculator on our site converts pallets, vehicles and shelving into a recommended unit size in about a minute.
It can, and the risk runs later in the year than most sellers expect. Candles, cosmetics, adhesives, batteries, electronics, vinyl and shrink wrap are the usual casualties. Our units are insulated to R30 in the ceiling and R19 in the walls, which is a substantial buffer compared with an uninsulated shell or an outdoor container, though it is not active climate control. Perishable food cannot be stored in the units at all.
Yes — this is the main reason seasonal sellers rent by the month. Take the space you need for peak, keep it through the January return window, then give notice or move down a size. Ask what is open near you when you reserve so you can expand into an adjacent unit rather than relocating.
September, or the first week of October at the latest. You want the unit secured and shelved before the first holiday freight lands, and the most useful sizes get taken as other businesses reach the same conclusion.
Most sellers set aside a corner of the unit as a returns area for January, because inbound returns need somewhere to sit while they are inspected and restocked. The facility address cannot be used as a mailing address, so returns should route to your business address and be brought over rather than shipped to the facility.
Yes. Insurance is not required, but it is recommended, and tenant insurance is offered when you rent your unit. Also check whether your existing commercial policy extends to an off-site storage location — inventory at Q4 volume is usually the most valuable thing you will keep here all year.
The property has 34 security cameras with continuous recording, a secure gated entrance with tenant passcode access, and an after-hours break-in alarm on the entrance. Units are fully enclosed rather than open-air, and there is no shared floor or common storage area where your stock sits alongside somebody else's.
