Retrofit & Conversion Storage Buildings

Convert existing structures into profitable self storage facilities. The lowest cost per square foot entry point in the industry — ideal for owners with an existing building or shell.

Turn an existing structure into revenue

Got a warehouse, retail building, or industrial space that's underperforming? Self storage conversion is one of the fastest-growing trends in the industry. Lower build costs, shorter timelines, and existing infrastructure give retrofit projects a significant advantage over ground-up construction.

Our retrofit packages include interior partition walls, roll-up doors, hallway systems, and all the components needed to transform your existing building into a fully functional self storage facility.

Best value in self storage

At $7–$10 per square foot for the building package, retrofits are the most cost-effective way to enter the self storage market. When the shell, foundation, and roof are already in place, you're cutting out the most expensive components of a new build.

We'll evaluate your existing structure, design a unit layout that maximizes revenue, and deliver a complete building package engineered to fit your space.
