U-Box Moving & Storage of Hammond at 6303 Calumet Ave. is scheduled for completion by summer 2026<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n

For more than 40 years, U-Haul has been serving do-it-yourself movers in Hammond at 822 165th St. Today, U-Haul is announcing plans for a new facility to accompany its longtime center to meet the growing needs of the community.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

U-Box Moving & Storage of Hammond at 6303 Calumet Ave. is scheduled for completion by summer 2026. It will be just one-third of a mile from the existing store. The 2.7-acre property was acquired on May 26.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Once the new facility is ready, it will serve as the parent store to U-Haul Moving & Storage of Hammond, which will remain open and be operated remotely.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Plans call for a three-story building with an expansive, modern retail showroom and 676 indoor climate-controlled self-storage units with high-tech security features at affordable price points. Customers will also have access to truck and trailer sharing, U-Box\u00ae portable storage containers, towing equipment and professional hitch installation, propane, boxes and moving supplies, and more.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

“We are excited to develop land that has long sat empty and add to our current services available in Hammond,” stated Raymon Powell, U-Haul Company of South Cook County & Northern Indiana president. “The new center will provide expanded options at a convenient location, including more climate-controlled storage to better serve the community’s needs.”<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The center is near retail and residential areas with close proximity to Purdue University’s Northwest Hammond campus.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Powell plans to hire additional Team Members to staff the new store when it is ready. U-Haul will look to hire locally to promote job growth in the Hammond community. U-Haul, honored as a Best for Vets employer by The Military Times, actively recruits veterans and gives them preference in the hiring process.

U-Haul continues to benefit the environment through its shared-use business model. Truck and trailer sharing enables communities to share moving equipment so that families and individuals don’t need to own large-capacity vehicles to transfer belongings. Sustainability initiatives like U-Haul Adaptive Reuse (the preserving and repurposing of existing buildings for new stores), truck modifications to improve fuel economy, and plastic Ready-To-Go Boxes\u00ae that are shared hundreds of times before being recycled are among the many ways U-Haul promotes green business. U-Box Load Share, the Company’s latest sustainability program, was just named the 2023 Best in Biz gold winner for the Most Environmentally Friendly Service of the Year.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
