The Lock Up Self Storage, is excited to announce the planned ground-breaking for a new, state-of-the-art self-storage facility in Babcock Ranch Florida.
With nearly 50 years of experience within the industry, The Lock Up Self Storage has become one of the most recognizable names in the self-storage sector. With dozens of facilities across eight states, the brand is today excited to announce the latest addition to its portfolio with the ground-breaking of its Babcock Ranch facility.
Located on Curry Preserve Drive, the two-story self-storage facility will be fully climate-controlled and provide convenient access for customers, with a unique drive-through tunnel ensuring vehicle access and protection from the extreme South Florida weather. To guarantee it aligns with the mission and vision of the Babcock Ranch community, The Lock Up Self Storage will utilize green initiatives throughout the construction, ensuring that it meets the thorough Florida Green Building Coalition (FGBC) criteria.
Covering an impressive 75,000 net rentable square feet, the new Lock Up will feature 775 modern and secure units ranging in size from 25 square feet up to 350 square feet, ensuring local residents and businesses can find the perfect solution for their storage needs. All units will be rented on a month-to-month basis. The new facility is planned to open in the Summer of 2025.
Speaking on the opening of the new property, Andrea Carnes at The Lock Up Self Storage, added, “We are really excited to be breaking ground on another state-of-the-art, fully climate-controlled storage facility in SW Florida. As the first solar-powered town in America, Babcock Ranch was a chance for us to showcase our green credentials and create a sustainable facility that meets the growing demands of consumers, while still providing the exceptional self-storage solutions that we have become synonymous with.”
From building construction and design to location and landscaping, Babcock Ranch is designed to withstand the severe weather in Florida. Homes and businesses within the town are required to meet stringent Florida Green Building Coalition standards for construction and sustainability. Designed with these standards as a blueprint, the new self-storage facility will offer residents an in-town self-storage solution with the safety and resilience standards that exemplify Babcock Ranch’s core initiatives.
