There are 720 climate-controlled units, opening to interior air-conditioned corridors. An additional 51 non-conditioned drive-up units are situated along the building’s perimeter. The building’s top two floors have elevator access, while the lower level is at grade, allowing customers who rent storage space on the lower floors to wheel items directly from the parking lot into their storage units. Wide loading areas with easy building access were designed to make moving quick and convenient.
