Reimagining self-storage

By Jonny Suchor.

A look into the collaborative effort of constructing the Broad Street Self-Storage in California with McElroy Metal innovations. 

The Broad Street Self-Storage in San Luis Obispo, California, built with help from McElroy Metal, is designed to fit into the local scene and serve the community. Raul Gonzales from MakoRabco Steel noted that the goal was to create a useful and good-looking storage space. The facility has modern designs, like towers and awnings, to elevate the structure’s curb appeal and function. 

“It was important to the owners, who live in the community, to erect a self-storage facility that was functional and enhanced the aesthetics of the San Luis Obispo community,” says Raul. “The main building, nearest the road, featured towers and pop-outs (awnings) to help drainage and add an aesthetic element to the building.” 

In its first development stage, three buildings were set up, offering 442 units over almost 60,000 square feet. They plan to double this space soon. The buildings use McElroy Metal materials for durable and stylish roofing and walls.  

Chase Morgan from Morgan Enterprises mentioned working with architects and local authorities to ensure the building was attractive and met the requirements of the area. This effort has led to a self-storage facility that stands out aesthetically and meets community  needs. 

“The design was a collaboration between us, the architect and the county, and since it’s on such a heavily trafficked road, coming into San Luis Obispo, we did work with the county to make sure the façade of the property was designed in a way that was aesthetically pleasing,” says Chase. 

McElroy Metal has been providing high-quality construction materials since 1963, which is reflected in the quality and design of the Broad Street facility. Their commitment to excellence supports both the construction industry and community needs.
