Self Storage Metal Buildings For Developers & Investors

Single-story, multi-story, and climate-controlled self storage facilities engineered for the Southwest market.

Overview

The Southwest Self Storage Market Is Still Growing.

Nevada and Arizona consistently rank among the top self storage markets in the country — driven by population growth, military relocation, and a transient workforce. Full Metal Buildings supplies pre-engineered metal self storage facilities designed for developers and investors who want to move fast and build right.

We design single-story drive-up facilities, multi-story climate-controlled buildings, and hybrid configurations with both indoor and outdoor units. Our packages include stamped engineering, permit-ready drawings, and unit layout optimization for maximum rentable square footage.

From a 50-unit starter facility to a 500-unit institutional-grade storage park, we have the engineering capacity and supplier relationships to deliver on time and on budget.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How many units can I fit on an acre?

A well-designed single-story self storage facility on one acre typically yields 40,000–55,000 rentable sq ft, depending on unit mix, drive aisle widths, and setback requirements. We can provide a preliminary site layout with your parcel dimensions.

Is climate-controlled storage worth the extra cost?

In Southwest markets, climate-controlled units command 20–40% higher rents and maintain higher occupancy rates. The additional cost of insulation and HVAC rough-in typically pays back within 12–18 months of stabilized occupancy.

How long does it take to build a self storage facility?

A typical 100-unit single-story facility takes 8–12 weeks for building delivery after approved drawings, plus 4–6 weeks for erection. Total timeline from contract to certificate of occupancy is typically 6–10 months including permitting and site work.

Do you provide unit layout plans?

Yes. We provide preliminary unit layout plans as part of our quoting process. Final layouts are included in the permit-ready drawing package.
