The Storage Spot
A large-format steel self-storage facility in West Valley City, Utah, designed and built by Wasatch Structures. Multi-building drive-up and climate-controlled metal buildings with boat and RV parking, engineered and erected for a dense Salt Lake Valley market under one design-build self-storage construction contract.
In a built-out valley, the storage that wins is the storage that uses every foot.
The Storage Spot sits in West Valley City, the second-largest city in Utah and one of the densest sub-markets in the Salt Lake Valley. Land runs expensive, infill parcels are tight, and the demand pool is enormous: apartments and townhomes with no garage, small businesses that need overflow, and a steady run of boats and RVs headed for the Wasatch and the lakes. A facility here has to pack rentable square footage onto the parcel without turning into a maze.
West Valley City, UT · View map→That is a design problem before it is a construction problem, and it is the kind of problem a design-build builder is built to solve.
Built for density: a large-format, multi-building steel layout that maximizes rentable area on a tight urban parcel while keeping drive aisles wide enough to actually use.
Built for the mix: drive-up units, climate-controlled interior corridors, and dedicated boat and RV parking, so one site covers the full range of demand the valley generates.
Built for the market: standing-seam steel roofs engineered to Salt Lake Valley snow and wind, with clean lines and freeway visibility that read from the road.
Wasatch carried it end to end. Pre-engineered steel building design, stamped construction documents, fabrication, doors, panels, and erection under one contract and one schedule. Self-storage construction this dense lives or dies on coordination, and one team holding every piece is how the math stays intact.
A metro infill site is the hardest version of this product to get right. Done well, it becomes one of the highest-performing assets in the portfolio.
