WASHINGTON, Sept. 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- District of Columbia residents have called on
their local U-Haul store at 2215 5th St. NE for their moving and
self-storage needs since 1993.
U-Haul Moving & Storage of Intown will now be able to offer
additional self-storage options to our nation's capital with the
recent acquisition of a 2.55-acre abutting property that previously
housed a USPS mail equipment shop. U-Haul is currently building
more than 600 self-storage units at this location.
"I had my eye on this property when I came to the area in 2013,"
U-Haul Company of Metro D.C. president Amanda Kirsch said. "When the 'for sale' sign
went up in the window, we jumped at the opportunity."
The three-story, 96,000-square-foot building was constructed in
1918 and was home to Barber & Ross Structural Iron Shop, Lumber
Mill & McLeod Stone Company and the USPS.
In addition to offering customers more self-storage options, the
new acquisition will allow for a designated receive-and-dispatch
area to make the rental process easier. U-Haul Moving & Storage
of Intown already offers truck and trailer rentals, moving
supplies, boxes, towing equipment and professional hitch
installation, truck sales, after-hours drop-off and more.
Stop by U-Haul Moving & Storage of Intown or call (202)
269-1200. Hours of operation are from 7
a.m.-7 p.m. Monday-Thursday and Saturday; 7 a.m.-8 p.m. Friday; and 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Sunday. Reserve equipment at
uhaul.com or contact Reservations at 1-800-GO-UHAUL.
The acquisition of the 5th St. NE abutting property was driven
by U-Haul Company's Corporate Sustainability initiatives:
U-Haul supports infill development to help local communities lower
their carbon footprint. Our adaptive reuse of existing buildings
reduces the amount of energy and resources required for
new-construction materials and helps cities reduce
their unwanted inventory of unused buildings.
"Our sustainability plan was a big factor in acquiring this
beautiful, historic building," Kirsch explained. "The community is
excited to see that U-Haul will be bringing more self-storage and
moving options to this growing area by renovating an existing
structure."
U-Haul is a proud sponsor of the 75th anniversary of
Pearl Harbor Day. The Company is
honoring Pearl Harbor survivors
and World War II veterans by supporting the events in Oahu commemorating the Dec. 7, 1941 attack. Founded by a WWII Navy
veteran and his wife, U-Haul makes veterans a focus of its
charitable works and has been recognized repeatedly as one of the
top veteran-friendly U.S. employers. Any Pearl Harbor survivors affiliated with U-Haul
Team Members or neighborhood dealers are encouraged to contact
