The mini storage industry has been a top growth sector for more than 35 years. With 10% of the American population renting storage for an average of 10 months, vacancy levels are at historic lows, resulting in higher rent and swelling net incomes for American mini-storage operators. This upsurge in net income is also driving cap rates upward annually, which is enticing real estate investment trusts to search for mini-storage businesses for sale throughout the country.
All Metal BuildingsWorking with General Steel is a collaborative process that ensures that your final product reflects your specific needs. The process starts with a two-way conversation between you and our experienced team. We want to know exactly how you’ll be using your mini-storage buildings, how they fit within your property, and your ideas for interior and exterior design, among other factors. We then research the location of the facilities to ensure that your self-storage buildings are equipped to withstand the wind and snow loads of your area as well as any insulation requirements.
Once we get an idea of what building kit best suits your project, we work with you to add customization options, including a wide variety of doors, windows, and exterior color schemes. The ease of steel construction allows us to modify layouts and add further customizations without breaking your budget. From design to construction, we provide the materials and expertise to transform a building kit into a thriving mini-storage business.
General Steel provides I-beam structures produced with the highest-grade steel. These structures are more reliable than light gauge structures that are produced with low-quality aluminum. I-beam framing requires minimal maintenance due to its consistency and reliability, saving time and money for mini-storage business owners. Instead of tending to repairs and daily monitoring of the facilities, you can focus on improving and growing your business.
Another key advantage in choosing a steel building over more traditional building materials is the speed of construction. When you receive your building kit from General Steel, it is ready to be erected. With simple bolt-together construction, you can quickly get your business up and running. The more efficient timeline of steel construction over traditional materials will also save up to 50% on time and material costs.
I-beam structures are far stronger than light gauge structures and more resilient in volatile weather conditions.
Yes, our mini storage building systems can be designed to accommodate end wall units. While this provides another couple rentable units, adding these makes it hard to expand from the end wall in the future.
Steel structures are easier to expand than traditional building materials, and quick construction timelines mean you can capitalize on increased demand if needed.
No matter where you are in the process of building, General Steel has a solution for you. From our simple 3 step building quote to our growing library of project resources, General Steel is the company you've been looking for.
