INDIANAPOLIS, June 20, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- U-Haul® is
introducing the self-storage and retail showroom aspects of its new
facility at 7425 E. Washington St., where it has revitalized a
vacated property that last housed a Kmart® store.
U-Haul Moving & Storage of Eastgate began offering
truck and trailer sharing out of the facility in June 2018.
The 178,963-square-foot building now has 598 indoor self-storage
units with climate-controlled options and high-tech security
features at affordable price points. Customers also have access to
moving supplies, U-Box® portable storage containers, professional
hitch installation and more. Additional services will soon be
available on the 12.54-acre lot, including propane and outdoor
self-storage.
Originally constructed in 1969, the building had sat empty since
2014. It is located on the east side of Indianapolis inside the Interstate 465
loop.

"The old Kmart building is perfect for our full-service U-Haul
facility," explained Justin Cruser,
U-Haul Company of Central Indiana
president. "This particular building has been vacant for a long
time and we are excited to bring it back to life. Many buildings of
this size remain vacant and become eyesores on the community. I'm
excited to have such a large U-Haul location in Indianapolis."
Acquisition of the property was driven by U-Haul Corporate
Sustainability initiatives: U-Haul supports infill developments to
help local communities lower its carbon footprint. The adaptive
reuse of existing buildings reduces the amount of energy and
resources required for new-building materials and helps cities
reduce their unwanted inventory of unused buildings.
