The project, in the works for more than two years, adds 922 units in a
six-story building near businesses and homes, including those occupied
by students at the University of Miami and Florida International
University, where storage is in high demand in the summer months. The
newly constructed Public Storage8477
SW 40th Street, Miami FL 33155 is on a six-lane, east-west
thoroughfare also called Bird Rd.
The new energy-efficient facility employs an efficient climate control
system throughout that conserves electricity by pulling in less outside
air that would then need to be cooled. With Miami’s high humidity and
temps in the 90’s in August, the design is expected to dramatically
lower energy consumption.
Public Storage is offering all climate-control units at this location to
satisfy a high demand from its customers in the area. The facility is
located in a commercial corridor that is a well-known spot for a bite to
eat, a trip to the gym or a quick errand. But just off the route, on
either side, are condos and other homes. A few blocks down the street is
the 275-acre Tropical county park.
Public Storage worked to build a location on vacant land that will meet
the neighborhood’s high standards and growing storage needs.
