Multi-Story Self-Storage Buildings
High land costs, limited land availability, and land configuration are all good reasons to consider multi-story buildings. If you can’t expand horizontially, why not vertically? Many owners are now realizing that you can get more rentable space by going up insead of out. Of course, expanding vertically is a more efficient use of space, but it can get more expensive in the long run because you must allow for additional expenses such as elevators, stairs or in some cases lifts. That said, the trend today is toward more multi-story buildings. Owners are finding that even though the costs of elevators and/or stairs are substantial, the advantages of more rentable space stacked vertically within multi-story buildings outweigh the extra costs.
