The SAFStor Prototype
Our goal is to create a dynamic structure that not only serves its main purpose of self-storage, but also embodies an attractive and timeless style.
SAFSTOR achieves pricing transparency and construction efficiency using a prototypical design, which it modifies in select instances based on site constraints.
- Designed to an amalgamation of ExtraSpace, CubeSmart and LifeStorage standards for maximum salability
- Historical, average project cost between $13-15 million
- Urban, multi-story construction
- Climate-controlled, elevator service
- Institutional/trophy quality construction: load-bearing or structural steel frame, high-quality fascia (a combination of Alpolic ACM panels, EFIS, stone accents), metal awnings, and ample glazing
- Average property size between 100,000 and 110,000 gross square feet with a target effi ciency ratio (gross to net leasable SF) of 75-77%
- Between 700 – 900 units ranging from 25 square feet up to 300 square feet
SAFStor's Community Commitments
We Help Others
We set aside three units for families in need within each project. We work with local charities to identify families that have lost their home due to a natural disaster, the loss of a job or even due to a tough run of luck. These families are provided with free access to the units while they get back on their feet.
We Protect the Environment
SAFStor, Inc. plants trees — upsized when possible — along adjacent pedestrian corridors and within project parking lots, whether or not tree additions are required by ordinance. Our landscape installations are designed to require water only during the establishment period.
We Design Beautiful Buildings
Although we love our modern approach to architecture, we are sensitive to local aesthetics. We adapt our design to local community preferences, when requested.
We Make Neighborhoods Safer
We offer one space per project to local law enforcement to use as a police substation. This is a place where officers can take a break from patrol, grab a cup of coffee, fill out paperwork, and connect to WiFi. This provides a convenient respite for on-duty officers and it can also enhance the feeling of safety and security for individuals within the surrounding neighborhoods.
We Use Low-Impact Designs
This may include low-flow toilets, LED lighting, low-E glass and low-maintenance materials. Additionally, we reduce the availability of parking facilities and drive aisles to minimize urban heat island effects.
We Mix It Up
In high-traffic locations, we incorporate ground-floor retail spaces to cultivate mixed-use developments.
We Use Local Labor
Each contractor we work with is required to publish notice in local newspapers, which announces our projects and invites local subcontractors to a community meeting to learn more about SAFStor, Inc. We provide local subcontractors with the opportunity to submit bids for each job prior to buyout, so long as they meet the requirements for their respective trades.
We Build Community Facilities
When possible, we incorporate neighborhood amenities in our projects. For instance, in one community we used a portion of excess land to build a soccer field, complete with goals and fencing to keep errant balls out of the road.
We Provide Spaces to Gather
The police substation within each project can also double as a small community meeting space. We provide a table and a dozen chairs per substation for that purpose.
