Public Storage Opens New Self-Storage Facility in Miami

Article-Public Storage Opens New Self-Storage Facility in Miami

Public Storage Inc., a self-storage real estate investment trust (REIT), opened a new facility this week in Miami. Under development for more than two years, the newly constructed property at 8477 S.W. 40th St. includes six stories and 922 units. The energy-efficient facility uses a climate-control system that conserves electricity by pulling in less outside air for cooling, according to a company press release. The design is expected to dramatically lower the building’s energy consumption, the release stated.

The facility is on a six-lane, east-west thoroughfare known as Bird Road, near Florida International University and the University of Miami. It’s in a commercial corridor that’s well-known for its restaurants and retail, the release stated. It’s also close to single and multi-family residences, and a few blocks from the 275-acre Tropical Park.

Earlier this month, Public Storage opened a new facility in Denver in the Stapleton Business Center, part of Denver’s largest neighborhood.
