A new self-storage facility is under construction near Monarch High School in Coconut Creek.
The four-story, roughly 89,000-square-foot building will go up at 5479 Wiles Road, according to Scott Stoudenmire, sustainability director for Coconut Creek.
The Self-Storage at Solaire is one of two new storage facilities approved in Coconut Creek.
Last year, the city approved the other self-storage facility, Sentry with 120,164-square-foot, as part of a new development with a new grocery store (Sprouts Farmers Market) and a drive-through coffee shop (Cali Coffee) in the southwest corner of Coconut Creek Parkway and Lyons Road.
Once the two new facilities are built, the city will have nine self-storage facilities.
The self-storage industry has undergone a boom during the pandemic, especially in growing cities such as Coconut Creek, according to experts.
The reason, expert say: Covid-19 has pushed many Americans to move their stuff into storage because they needed to move in with family or shrink their living spaces to save money.
