Groundbreaking Development: StorBox Self Storage – Pasadena, CA

Formerly a single-story warehouse, the building had undergone seven expansion remodels before being converted into self-storage. According to Carrell, differing floor levels from the previous expansions necessitated the construction of ramps within the two-story structure. And the owner’s request for units with exterior access required plastic curtains to minimize the loss of cooled air.
After tearing down the original building, a spacious, art-deco themed office was built in its place. The office has a conference room, retail, and display units.
StorBox was completed within a year and opened in June of 2001. It is fully stabilized with an occupancy rate of around 96 percent.
