Hines is continuing its expansion into the high-end storage market with a planned 700 unit “mini-warehouse” and self-storage project — complete with RV parking — in Tempe.
Traditionally known for office space development, the firm submitted a request for a use permit to the city back in June to build the project on an irregularly shaped, four-acre vacant parcel at the intersection of Priest Drive and Commerce Drive.
Self-storage expert Denise Nunez, senior VP at NAI Horizon, said Hines came to the self-storage business late in the game in Arizona.
