U-Haul Unveils Plans for First Rancho Dominguez Facility

RANCHO DOMINGUEZ, Calif., Dec. 28, 2016

U-Haul Moving & Storage of Carson at 1930 Via Arado currently offers truck and trailer rentals, moving supplies and U-Box portable moving and self-storage containers.

Once construction is completed, there will be 1,426 indoor self-storage units with climate-control options. The 84,396-square-foot building will incorporate all of U-Haul Company's state-of-the-art security features. While waiting for permanent self-storage units, customers are encouraged to use U-Box containers as temporary self-storage units.

"This is the perfect location for us," U-Haul of Los Angeles South president Erik Regan said. "The facility is only a mile away from California State University – Rancho Dominguez, and is right next to growing neighborhoods and the city of Carson."

By reusing the furniture warehouse, a U-Haul sustainability study reveals it prevented 384 tons of metal manufacturing and transportation from being used; avoided 4,802 tons of new concrete pours; kept 5,239 tons of construction and demolition debris out of landfills; and stopped 3,479,852 pounds of greenhouse gas emissions from entering the atmosphere.

The acquisition of the Rancho Dominguez 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.
