Garage Plus Storage GROUNDBREAKING this Friday 10:30am!

Spanaway, WA - In what has been hailed as an innovative use of land and recognized as the first of its kind in Pierce County, Garage Plus Storage has broken ground on a $52.5 million active use storage development in Spanaway. In is estimated that the project will provide over 150 construction jobs involving 40 separate area sub-contractors under the direction of BNR Development. With the recently reported unemployment rate at 9.2 percent in August for Pierce County, this project couldn't come at a better time. Construction on this 21 acre site will span nearly four years and result in 650 individually owned garage/storage units and an owner club house. Land preparation began last week with full scale construction to be underway by late October.

This is the first Active Use Permit that Pierce County has ever issued. "It is critical to recognize the significance of this type of permit," said Bill Donahoe of Solution Partners NW. "This unique concept will allow owner's unlimited access to their garage unit allowing the hobbyist or collector to actively work on their projects at their leisure." Other facilities that either rent or sell their units limit access of the user because by law users cannot actively work on their projects. Garage Plus Storage offers the only opportunity to own a garage/storage unit where hobbyist, collectors and small business owners may fully utilize their space.

"With occupancy at storage facilities running over 95% capacity in the country, the need is here... what we're offering our clientele is the opportunity to own their own unit, come and go as they please and build their own equity, not someone else's," said Dan Simon owner of Garage Plus Storage. "We have car collectors, woodworkers, boat enthusiasts, photographers, RV owners, landscapers, motorcyclists... you name it."

With the ground breaking ceremony scheduled for 10:30am on October 16th and full construction underway by the end of the month, this winter and the coming years just got a little brighter for 40 area contractors and their subsequent 300 employees and families.
