2/24/2017 – 1784 Capital Holdings LLC has begun construction of Tucson Orange Grove Self Storage in Tucson, Ariz. The 2.81-acre property at 121 W. Orange Grove was purchased as two vacant lots from Orange Grove/Oracle LLC and 4-D Properties LLP, according to a press release.
The two-story facility is expected to open during the second quarter. It will comprise 73,250 square feet of storage space in 532 units. Both levels will be accessible by vehicle.
“This property is at the western edge of the [Santa] Catalina Mountains and is an ideal location for the growing community of self-storage users,” said Shane Albers, CEO and chairman. “We are committed to the Tucson marketplace, and look forward to expanding within the city.”

A member of NAI Global, the organization is a managed network of independently owned commercial real estate brokerage firms. It assists corporations with negotiating leases, sales, business brokerage, investments, relocation, site selection and development.
