Groundbreaking Development: Storelocal, Surprise, AZ
Like its name implies, Surprise, Ariz., a vibrant and growing city, is an unexpected piece of paradise in the Sonoran Desert about 22 miles northwest of Phoenix. Catering to this eclectic community is Storelocal Storage, a new, 178,000-rentable-square-foot facility at 12465 N. Autoshow Drive. Offering climate-controlled units, RV and boat bays, and drive-up units, it has something for everyone.
The build, which took about 16 months, wasn’t without some initial challenges. Although the foundation received zoning approval, a redesign was necessary to obtain building permits, ultimately turning the planned three-story structure into a one-level facility. The skilled team at RKAA Architects was able to accommodate, re-adjusting the unit mix to stay in line with market demand despite the change in plans. Supply chain issues also caused switchgear and electrical boxes to be delayed by almost a year, but contractor Campbell Development worked tirelessly with a transportation company to have them delivered just in time to receive the Certificate of Occupancy.
Now open for business, though still waiting on the signage permit, this state-of-the-art Storelocal Storage facility is powered by Hummingbird and secured by Janus International’s Nokē Smart Entry System.
