Self-Storage Building Conversions in Fort Wayne

Converting an existing building into self-storage units in Fort Wayne is often quicker and more cost-effective than starting from scratch. Our design team will assess the space, gather your desired unit mix, and create a design based on your specifications. The process involves fewer steps than new construction.

Starting small is possible. Some clients have begun with just six units on a 20x80 space beside a driveway. However, larger sites, such as those with 20+ acres, can also accommodate self-storage facilities.

The cost of converting a building can range from $5,000 to $150,000, depending on the building's size and the scope of the conversion.

Old factories, retail stores, and markets are prime candidates for conversion. Any building with open space can be relatively quick and inexpensive to convert into storage units.

It's important to check with your local county codes and regulations to determine what permits are required for your specific project.

The timeline depends on the number of units being converted. Some projects can be completed in as little as four days, while others may take several months.

We subcontract all off-site labor. Our experienced team, specializing in storage industry conversions, is licensed to work in most states.

Keyless entry locks are a great feature to enhance security and provide a valuable service to customers. These can be billed to tenants, making entry safer for both the customer and the property owner. Additionally, offering the right unit sizes based on local demand is crucial—lake towns and college towns often have different needs.

Climate-controlled units are in high demand, but it’s important to research nearby competitors to gauge whether there’s a strong local demand before adding them.

At Advanced Steel, we take measurements and work closely with the facility owner to choose the most effective layout for the space.
