Self-Storage Expansion at U-Haul of Avondale Now Complete

DECATUR, Ga., Dec. 6, 2016

Do-it-yourself customers in DeKalb County have graciously welcomed the new facility to meet their needs since U-Haul purchased it in 2015.

"We have another U-Haul facility four miles up Memorial Drive that is completely occupied with regards to our self-storage units," U-Haul Company of Central Georgia president Jason Petty said. "This community needed more self-storage and we're happy to deliver."

The 13.75-acre property features 145,978 square feet of space and is directly across the street from the Wal-Mart® Supercenter. Located in Avondale Square, the building was constructed in 1969 and has housed many businesses as a shopping plaza.

"The best part about taking over this building is that U-Haul will be able to fill the entire 13 acres in order to serve more and more customers at a lower cost," general manager Raquel Bryan said. "We will give this community much-needed services and peace of mind in knowing a well-known industry leader is here to stay."

The recent acquisition of the Avondale facility was driven by U-Haul Company's Corporate Sustainability initiatives: U-Haul® supports infill developments to help local communities lower their carbon footprint. Our adaptive reuse of existing buildings reduces the amount of energy and resources required for new-construction materials and helps cities reduce their unwanted inventory of unused buildings.
