NASHUA, N.H., July 30, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- U-Haul®
recently acquired the former military radar system machine shop at
476 Amherst St. to better meet the moving and self-storage demands
of Nashua residents.
U-Haul Moving & Storage of North
Nashua will soon be operating out of the new location and
offering truck and trailer sharing and moving supplies. Once the
19,517-square-foot space is renovated and construction of the new
76,000-square-foot two-story climate-controlled self-storage
building is completed, it will include more than 750 indoor
climate-controlled self-storage rooms with high-tech security
features at affordable price points.
"U-Haul will be converting this vacant building into a modern
retail and self-storage facility," said Scott Chase, U-Haul Company of Eastern Massachusetts president. "This
building was built in 1959 and was home to Fab-Braze Corporation
for a long time. We didn't want to see this building become an
eyesore on the community, and now it will be repurposed for a new
life."
The property, acquired on May 21,
will soon offer towing equipment; U-Haul Remote 24/7® access for
self-storage customers; the Take A Box, Leave A Box program; and
more.
Nearby U-Haul stores and neighborhood dealers are available to
assist while the Clifton Park facility is under construction.
U-Haul of Nashua is open
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.
When the location is fully operational, Chase expects to employ
at least eight Team Members. U-Haul will look to hire locally to
promote job growth within Nashua.
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.
"This community is growing and there is a need for modern
self-storage options," Chase added. "U-Haul is excited to meet the
self-storage demands of Nashua."
