Groundbreaking Development: Devon Self Storage, Southfield MI

Making a name for itself as a premier residential destination and business center, Southfield, Mich.,has something for everyone. And by the end of 2024, it will have its own premier storage facility in Devon Self Storage, part of the The Inland Real Estate Group of Companies.

This four-story facility, a former office building that was converted by Devon following the meticulously laid plans of Designhaus Architecture, offers 748 climate-controlled units and 2,300 square feet of retail space. Many structural modifications were made to meet storage floor load requirements, and compliance with strict codes pertaining to aesthetics and landscaping was critical so that the facility would seamlessly integrate into its surroundings.

Once that was in order, insulated metal paneling, epoxy flooring, and upper floor tinted-glass windows were added, along with a covered loading bay, high-speed elevators, overhead doors, high-tech security, and an access control system.

Located off Michigan’s well-traveled Northwestern Highway with easy visibility from the John C. Lodge freeway, it can be seen by more than 200,000 commuters every day.
