Climate Controlled Storage Buildings

Insulated, HVAC-equipped self storage buildings that command 25-50% premium rents. The highest revenue-per-square-foot option in the self storage market.

Premium product, premium returns

Climate controlled storage is the fastest-growing segment of the self storage industry. Temperature and humidity-regulated units protect sensitive items — electronics, furniture, documents, wine, pharmaceuticals — and tenants pay a significant premium for the peace of mind.

Our climate controlled buildings are fully insulated with energy-efficient building envelopes designed for your specific climate zone. HVAC-ready engineering means your mechanical contractor can install systems without structural modifications.

Sustainability built in

Our buildings incorporate energy-saving features including high-performance insulation (R-25 to R-40), natural lighting options, and efficient ventilation design. Lower energy costs mean better operating margins and a more sustainable facility.

Recyclable steel construction, strategic window placement, and efficient mechanical design minimize your carbon footprint while maximizing thermal performance.

Climate controlled pricing

Higher upfront cost, significantly higher rental income. Climate controlled is the strongest ROI play in self storage for the right market.

What makes our climate controlled buildings different

Insulated Building Envelope

Full insulation system — walls, roof, and floors. Multiple insulation types available to match your climate and budget.

HVAC-Ready Engineering

Mechanical penetrations, equipment curbs, and structural support designed in from the start. No retrofitting needed.

Vapor & Moisture Control

Integrated vapor barriers and ventilation design to prevent condensation and maintain stable interior humidity.

Interior Hallway Systems

Conditioned corridors with interior-access units. Clean, well-lit spaces that justify premium rents.

Energy Efficient Design

R-25 to R-40 thermal performance reduces HVAC operating costs and improves margins on every unit.

Customizable Layout

From unit mix to door configurations, insulation type, and more — every aspect is customized to your market.
