The Challenge

How do you best utilize space that was intended for retail use to create on-site storage for residents?

The building’s owner wanted to utilize space originally intended for retail use. Resident storage cages were proposed as a potential use for the space but the awkwardly shaped space was not best utilized with standard wire mesh partitions, and the owners desired a more attractive option for their Class A property.

The Bradyl Solution

Bradyl completed an on-site assessment of the space and consulted with the property’s ADA consultant to ensure that the storage unit layout/ design incorporated all desired ADA accessibility features. Bradyl was tasked to design and install twenty-five new storage units of various sizes in the allocated space. The property manager pre-advertised the incoming apartment storage units and generated a waiting list for the planned storage units.

The Outcome

In addition to new adding a new amenity, the buzz generated by the pre-advertising resulted in all of the storage units being rented out immediately upon completion of the installation. Not only are residents able to take advantage of this on-site storage option, the property is also renting the storage units for up to $4.73 per square foot. The management company, JBG, and the owners of the property, ASB Capital Management, are thrilled with the results.

In Their Words

Lindsay and her team did a great job for us at a large multi-family project we own in Northern Virginia. Her team was very effective in designing and implementing a strategy for previously unutilized space, which led to immediate increases in income.

I enjoyed working with her on this project and would recommend her services to anyone looking to add new sources of storage income across their portfolio.
