FLORISSANT, Mo., Sept. 22, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- U-Haul will
soon begin construction on a three-story, 79,330-square-foot
facility to serve the do-it-yourself mover and self-storage
customer northwest of St.
Louis.
U-Haul Moving & Storage of Florissant II at 1350 N.
Lindbergh Blvd. will be operated remotely by U-Haul Moving &
Storage of Florissant, located one-eighth of a mile east of the
acquired site. A building erected in the 1960s that once housed a
prominent auto dealership occupies the site, but it has been
condemned and will soon be leveled after sitting vacant for more
than eight years.
"U-Haul is happy to provide the Florissant community relief from a property
that had become such an eyesore," said Mike
White, U-Haul Company of Missouri Northeast president. "When
we're finished, this neighborhood won't have to worry about blight
from a condemned building. There will be a beautiful self-storage
facility in its place."
When construction at the 3.63-acre property is done, the
facility will include a U-Box warehouse in addition to indoor,
climate-controlled self-storage with state-of-the-art security
features. It will offer 24-hour accessibility for customer
convenience.
"We only have 10 self-storage units at our current Florissant location," White said. "Having this
additional facility is going to provide a much-needed service. The
members of this community are really excited for us to open. We
have a 'coming soon' sign out and residents are already coming by
to ask when we will start offering self-storage. Everyone is on
board with what we're doing."
Stop by U-Haul Moving & Storage of Florissant to ask about our progress, or call
(314) 837-2227. 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
