Pheonix Investors: To convert Menasha industrial facility into self-storage

MENASHA, WI (September 25, 2023) – An affiliate of Phoenix Investors (“Phoenix”), a private  commercial real estate firm headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, announced it will convert  its property located at 2225 American Drive in Menasha, Wisconsin into a large self-storage  facility. Consisting of approximately 65,000 net rentable square feet, Phoenix intends to add up  to 600 self-storage units to the property. In addition to the self-storage conversion, the facility  will offer over 100,000 square feet of RV and boat storage parking and several executive office  suites. 

Formerly operated as a call center, the subject site features convenient proximity to I-41 and is  located less than 4 miles from Appleton International Airport. The single-story office building was  originally constructed in 1981 and underwent significant updates and renovations in 1999 and in  2020.  

“There is significant demand for institutional quality self-storage in the area,” said Anthony  Crivello, Phoenix’s Executive Vice President & Managing Director. “We operate self-storage units  across our portfolio and are thrilled to add more. We expect units to be available by early 2024.” 

The facility will be branded and operated by Store Here Self Storage, a top 50 self-storage operator  in the United States. Phoenix partnered with Store Here in 2019 to convert another industrial space  in Mount Pleasant, WI to a self-storage facility. The property in Menasha will mark Store Here’s third  facility in Wisconsin.

Phoenix has already begun significant renovations on the property, while existing features such  as a wet sprinkler system and metal construction lend themselves to the conversion.
