Groundbreaking Development: StorageMax, Germantown, MS

When Germantown High School in Gluckstadt, Miss., has a home game, everyone hopes for a win. While that’s not guaranteed, they can count on StorageMax, just across the street, to be lit up with the school’s colors. It’s just one way the facility connects with the community.

StorageMax moved in two years ago. The facility was designed by Trulock Architecture and built by JMWilliams Contractors in just 10 months, but planning began much sooner. The StorageMax team met early with community members, hosting a town hall to discuss the facility façade, traffic, and more. This allowed them to handle concerns before going to the city board, which made garnering approval much easier.

With community feedback, things fell into place: Decorative arches and a stacked stone base were added, along with a textured metal panel on exterior-facing surfaces. A local landscape architect was also brought in to sow the seeds of over 200 plants from more than 20 species.

Today, the three-story, 87,900-net-rentable-square-foot facility offers 704 climate-controlled and drive-up units and has a Sitelink-controlled kiosk room for 24/7 move-ins and move-outs. StorageMax is managed by Storage Park Development, Inc., and secured by OpenTech CIA and Janus International. Phase 2, which will add more storage space, will be underway soon!
