More luxury storage options coming soon just off island
By Capt Sandy Melvin
After the destruction from Hurricane Ian showcased a need for stronger storage options in our area, the Boca Grande and Cape Haze communities will soon have a new enclosed storage facility available for large RVs, boats, collectible cars, etc.
Grande Storage Condos has recently announced plans to begin construction of 52 units on 5 acres along Gasparilla road (SR 771) off island.
Construction is set to begin for phase one on June 1 and be completed in approximately 18 months. Phase 2 is scheduled to be completed within 24 months. Pre-sales of the individually owned units has begun.
Each unit will be climate controlled and built to exceed the latest hurricane codes. For example, to better withstand high winds, the roofs will be constructed of prestressed concrete panels instead of typical wood trusses, providing greater roof protection from future storms and inclement weather. The 8” block construction will include enhanced fire wall protection between units and the units are only accessible through gated entry, with 24/7 surveillance and security systems. Wi-Fi will also be available on site.
Owners will have two unit sizes to chose from. Option #1 is a 24’ x 52’ unit, and option #2 is a 30’ x 52’ unit.
There will be water access available for wash down use at each individual unit, multiple ac/dc power outlets, including a 50 amp Rv power outlet, ample LED lighting, and the developer has made it a point to have generous space to maneuver large Rvs and boats into the units.
More information will be available soon at GrandeStorageCondos.com.
