MADISON, Tenn., June 30, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- U-Haul® is
revealing details of its adaptive reuse plan for an unoccupied
commercial building that will soon be a full-service moving and
self-storage facility.
U-Haul Moving & Storage of Rivergate at 1515 Gallatin
Pike N. is currently offering truck and trailer sharing, moving
supplies and U-Box® portable storage containers out of a temporary
retail showroom.
Renovations will soon render approximately 700 indoor
climate-controlled self-storage units with high-tech security
features at affordable price points. Storage rooms are expected to
be available for rent this fall.
Professional hitch installation and a new retail showroom will
also be highlights of the 71,232-square-foot building on 6.95
acres. U-Haul acquired the property on Jan.
3.
"This building has been vacant since the technical training
school and HHgregg® Electronics moved out in 2017," said
Jeff Porter, U-Haul Company of
Nashville president. "We have the
privilege of giving it a new purpose. By reusing the building, we
save materials and can offer a fresh look to a building from the
1990s."
Contact U-Haul Moving & Storage of Rivergate at (629)
221-2502 or stop by to see our progress. Hours of operation are
8 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Saturday.
Reserve equipment at uhaul.com or contact Reservations at
1-800-GO-UHAUL.
Acquisition of the property was driven by U-Haul Corporate
Sustainability initiatives: U-Haul supports infill developments to
help local communities lower their 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.
Porter plans to employ at least six Team Members once the store
is fully operational. U-Haul will look to hire locally to support
job growth within the Madison
community. Find U-Haul career opportunities

As an essential service provider, U-Haul has remained open
throughout the COVID-19 outbreak while offering contactless
programs and enhanced cleaning protocols, including added steps for
sanitizing equipment between customer transactions. U-Haul products
are used daily by First Responders; delivery companies bringing
needed supplies to people's homes; small businesses trying to
remain afloat; college students; and countless other dependent
groups – in addition to the household mover.

U-Haul is keeping its Team Members and customers safe during the
