The building is 4 stories and 110,000 SFG, making it the largest single-building self-storage facility in the greater Danbury area. It is strategically located at the busy intersection of Candle Lake Road, Federal Road, and Grays Bridge Road, accessed via Exit 11 on Super Route 7. This area is home to such major, national retailers such as Costco, Home Depot, Raymour Flannigan, BJ’s, and Kohl’s. It is also in the same area as Stew Leonard’s and a newly opened Big Y supermarket. There are 810 storage units, including 57 desirable drive-up units up to 10′ x 30′ in size. It is a climate-controlled (cooled in the summer, heated in the winter) facility. The design is visually appealing, with facades in soft greys, white, and wasabi green accent panels, trim, and overhead doors.
Extra Space Storage, a publicly traded REIT (NYSE: EXR), will brand, operate, and manage the facility. Extra Space manages 1,400 storage facilities throughout the USA and owns an additional 472 facilities.
Completion is expected by October 1, 2024. The development team, headed by de Stefanis & Associates of White Plains, NY, includes local, Danbury, CT area firms: Claris Construction, Inc. as the construction manager; Structural Consulting Services, P.C. for structural engineering; and CCA, LLC site engineering. Dean Architects PLLC of Clarence, NY, a nationally renowned self-storage design firm, is the architect of record. de Stefanis & Associates, Inc. has been in operation since 1958; Carl de Stefanis, P.E., is the current president. The company has developed warehouses, offices, and banking facilities in Westchester County, New York.
“The location is excellent due to the proximity to many well-known big box retailers, and the site’s easy-on and easy-off access from Super Route 7. Our market research indicates that the area has a high demand for storage. Potential commercial customers inquiring about preleasing our large, exterior-access drive-up units is strong,” said Mr. de Stefanis.
