ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., Dec. 8, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- U-Haul intends
to have its newest company-owned and -operated facility in the
Albuquerque area up and running by
late fall 2017.
U-Haul acquired the vacant lot on the northeast corner of Coors
Blvd. NW and Interstate 40 on Oct. 31
and is in the process of finalizing details for a state-of-the-art
facility to be constructed there.
The 5.41-acre property will feature a three-story building, a
single-story building and two rows of outdoor drive-up
self-storage. Plans call for a total of 1,032 self-storage units
with 82,181 rentable square feet of self-storage. Indoor and
outdoor self-storage will be available with 53 percent of the units
offering climate control.
"This property acquisition will give the Westside community a
premium do-it-yourself moving option," U-Haul Company of
Northern New Mexico president
Tom Neill said. "There has never
been a U-Haul-owned facility on this side of town."
U-Haul Moving & Storage at Coors & I-40 will also offer
truck and trailer rentals, towing equipment and professional hitch
installation, moving supplies, boxes and more. Propane is expected
to be available sometime after opening.
Neill said U-Haul will look to hire locally for the facility to
promote job growth within the community. When this location is
fully operational, he expects to employ at least 12 Team Members.
U-Haul always encourages local contractors to bid on the
construction work.
"Most of the housing growth is happening here in the Westside
community," Neill said. "We are excited to serve our future
customers in this area. U-Haul will provide these neighborhoods a
much-needed product and service at a low cost."
Until this store is open, customers can have their moving and
self-storage needs met by the five other U-Haul-owned facilities in
Albuquerque or any number of
U-Haul neighborhood dealers in the area. To find the location
