The groundbreaking ceremony took place on October 30 at 8:30 a.m., marking a significant milestone for one of the last self-storage facilities to be permitted within this Fort Lauderdale zone.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #222222;\"><span style=\"font-family: Lato, Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The project, to be branded and operated by Extra Space Storage, will feature five buildings: a five-story climate-controlled structure totaling 107,394 square feet, a standalone climate-controlled single-story building of 17,625 square feet, and three single-story non-climate-controlled buildings totaling 22,575 square feet. In all, the development will deliver 1,276 new storage units to serve the city&#8217;s growing population and business base.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #222222;\"><span style=\"font-family: Lato, Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Construction officially began on September 9, 2025, with completion scheduled for November 2026 pending plat approval. The site plan required an innovative design approach to accommodate a 1,300-linear-foot water main extension mandated by the City of Fort Lauderdale and the integration of two combined parcels, one of which will include an area designated for public use. &#8220;4 Rivers is pleased to have broken ground and be underway on this exciting opportunity to deliver a hybrid Class A storage facility in a core location within a very attractive market. Our partners at ARCO have been terrific to work with and we look forward to executing on a successful project together over the coming year.&#8221; said Wes McAdams, Principal, 4 Rivers Property Group.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #222222;\"><span style=\"font-family: Lato, Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">ARCO was selected for the project through a referral from Colony Commercial, a construction management partner representing developers across the country, following a strong, long-standing relationship. The decision to move from a traditional bid-build model to ARCO&#8217;s fully integrated design-build approach allowed 4 Rivers to gain cost certainty, schedule reliability, and decreased overall project risk, core advantages ARCO brings to every development.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #222222;\"><span style=\"font-family: Lato, Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">&#8220;We&#8217;re proud to partner with 4 Rivers Property Group and Crow Holdings on this landmark project,&#8221; said Eric Thompson, President, ARCO Design\/Build, Self-Storage. &#8220;By leveraging our turnkey design-build process, we&#8217;re helping deliver a facility that meets today&#8217;s self-storage demand while overcoming complex zoning and infrastructure challenges unique to this site.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #222222;\"><span style=\"font-family: Lato, Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">This groundbreaking represents the continuation of a growing partnership between ARCO and 4 Rivers Property Group, with two additional projects already in the pipeline.
