STOCKBRIDGE, Ga., March 23, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- A
state-of-the-art self-storage facility is coming to 471 Eagles
Landing Parkway in Stockbridge
thanks to U-Haul® Company's recent acquisition of a
324,000-square-foot warehouse.
U-Haul Mobility & Storage at Eagles Landing is currently
offering truck and trailer sharing as well as moving supplies out
of a temporary showroom. Once the property is repurposed, it will
offer 1,800 indoor self-storage units for rent – a mix of
climate-control and non-climate-control rooms with high-tech
security features at affordable price points.
In the coming weeks, U-Haul will allocate warehouse space to
store more than 300 U-Box portable moving and storage containers
and lot space to accommodate 40 large U-Haul truck boxes – a
sustainable solution for outdated fleet vehicles. These options
will provide immediate and secure on-site storage for customers
while self-storage rooms are being made.
The warehouse sits on 30.6 acres and will house a new regional
office for future growth of the Greater
Atlanta market. U-Haul operations will encompass about
108,000 square feet, meaning there is now 216,000 square feet of
logistical space for lease. Companies wishing to relocate to the
south side of Atlanta are
encouraged to contact Jon Scoville,
U-Haul Company of Western Georgia
president, at (502) 382-7090 or jon_scoville@uhaul.com.
"We have been working to get this building for more than three
years and we're thrilled to move on to the next step," Scoville
stated. "This warehouse was known as the 'Space Center.' It once
housed the AT&T® fiber optics division. We're excited to
breathe life into the building after seven years of vacancy."
Contact U-Haul Mobility & Storage at Eagles Landing at (678)
379-5018 or stop by to see the progress. Hours of operation are
9 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Friday and
9 a.m.-6 p.m. Saturday. Reserve
equipment at uhaul.com or contact Reservations at
1-800-GO-UHAUL.
The recent acquisition of the Eagles Landing facility was driven
by U-Haul Company's Corporate Sustainability initiatives: U-Haul
supports infill developments to help local communities lower their
carbon footprint. Our 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.
Scoville has already hired three Team Members and expects to
employ a staff of 20 or more when the facility is fully
operational. U-Haul will look to hire locally to promote job growth
in Eagles Landing. U-Haul always encourages local contractors to
bid on renovation work.
The facility will feature a sidewalk expansion for customers who
arrive by golf cart, and will maintain an electrical charging
station for golf carts and electric-powered automobiles. There will
be service for propane-powered vehicles as well.
"The Eagles Landing community is growing and we are proud to be
part of it," Scoville said. "Plus, with 30 acres at our disposal,
we're going to create a walking and biking path to keep true to the
U-Haul commitment to health and wellness."
