The company, which has been leasing the property since May, will complete the transaction in August. According to the plans, the 84,180-square-foot building will be transformed into a self-storage facility. U-Haul Moving &amp; Storage of Alton currently operates from a temporary showroom and offers a full line of moving supplies.<\/p>\n<p>Positioned at 2851 Homer M Adams Parkway, the property is near Freeway 3, approximately 30 miles from downtown St. Louis. Around 63,000 people live within a five-mile radius, with an average income of roughly $44,000. The adaptive reuse development, situated on 27.8 acres, will comprise 700 storage units featuring climate-controlled spaces with high-tech security at an affordable price. Additional features of the property include truck and trailer sharing, towing equipment, propane, U-Box portable moving, storage containers and hitch installation.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;The Kmart portion of this property, where U-Haul will be operating, was vacant for about eight months,&#8221;<\/em> said Mike White, president of U-Haul Company of Missouri Northeast, in a prepared statement. <em>&#8220;No one was serious about occupying this building and the community was beginning to worry it would suffer the same fate as other large box stores. We didn&#8217;t want to see this building go dark and fall into disrepair. Our adaptive reuse of this site will benefit U-Haul, the environment and the community.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year, the company opened <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/u-haul-opens-storage-facility-in-texas\/\">372 indoor, climate-controlled units in Waco<\/a>, Texas.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Image courtesy of U-Haul<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The company is currently leasing the former Kmart store and will complete the sale of the property in August.
