FRAMINGHAM, MA -- U-Haul® is offering 636 newly constructed self-storage units at 15 Pleasant St. Connector, a property that was acquired in March 2018.

U-Haul Moving & Storage of Framingham-Southborough introduced the completed facility on Friday. The selection of indoor climate-controlled storage rooms are fitted with high-tech security features and are available at affordable price points. Customers have access to an indoor loading area to provide protection from the weather.

The finished store also offers a retail showroom featuring hitch accessories, moving supplies, boxes and more. U-Box® portable storage containers are on site and available to rent as well.

“We’re investing in Framingham, and now we’re able to show off this state-of-the-art moving and self-storage facility,” U-Haul store general manager Mason Souliere noted. “This building was constructed in 1966 and was vacant for many years. We invite the community to stop by and see the work we’ve put into it.”

The 93,088-square-foot building was formerly occupied by Genzyme. Genzyme was once the third largest biotech company in the world.

“U-Haul has been repurposing old buildings for decades to eliminate blight and benefit the communities we serve,” added Scott Chase, U-Haul Company of Eastern Massachusetts president. “Our goal is to provide our neighbors with residential mobility and a clean, secure storage facility where our they will want to keep their belongings.”

Acquisition of the property was driven by U-Haul Corporate Sustainability initiatives: U-Haul supports infill developments to help local communities lower their carbon footprint. The adaptive reuse of existing buildings reduces the amount of energy and resources required for new-building materials and helps cities reduce their unwanted inventory of unused buildings.

As an essential service provider, U-Haul remains open during the COVID-19 pandemic while offering contactless business programs and enhanced cleaning protocols, including added steps for sanitizing equipment between customer transactions. U-Haul products are used daily by First Responders; delivery companies bringing needed supplies to people’s homes; small businesses trying to remain afloat; college students; and countless other dependent groups, in addition to the household mover.
