Project Spotlight: Expanding Self Storage Capacity for U-Haul in Ashland, Kentucky

Miller Buildings is proud to showcase the completion of a new portable self-storage expansion for U-Haul in Ashland, Kentucky. This project demonstrates how existing properties can be transformed into revenue-generating assets with minimal disruption and a fast installation timeline.

The project includes 9,500 square feet of portable self-storage buildings, adding 76 new rentable storage units to an existing U-Haul location. By utilizing available parking areas with existing grades, the owner was able to significantly increase storage capacity without the time and expense associated with traditional site development.

Designed for long-term durability and security, each building was manufactured with features that meet the operational needs of today’s self-storage facilities, including:

  • Pre-wired construction for future door alarm integration
  • Dummy doors to maintain a consistent architectural appearance
  • Engineered anchoring systems designed to meet required wind load ratings
  • Durable steel construction built for years of reliable performance

Portable self-storage buildings provide an ideal solution for operators looking to maximize underutilized space while minimizing site work and accelerating the path to new rental income. Because the buildings are manufactured off-site, installation is efficient, allowing owners to begin generating revenue much sooner than with conventional construction.

The Ashland project is another example of how Miller Buildings helps storage operators expand existing facilities with flexible, high-quality building solutions that deliver lasting value. Whether you’re adding units to an established location or developing a new site, our team can help you maximize your property’s earning potential with innovative portable storage solutions.
