Greenbox Self Storage has opened its first sustainable self-storage facility in Denver’s River North (RiNo) neighborhood.
Located at 3310 Brighton Blvd., Greenbox SelfStorage is the first LEED-certified self-storage building in Denver and the first newly constructed storage project downtown in over a decade.
The 45,000-square-foot facility includes 747 storage units and three street-level office/retail units. Additional features include computerized keypad access, individual door alarms on select units, closed-circuit video surveillance and web-based payment options. Storage units and retail space at Greenbox start at $49 a month.
"Our goal was to make renting storage space downtown easy and accessible," says Bahman Shafa, developer of the project. “We are also focused on supporting the community, which is why Greenbox was designed to be as sustainable as possible.”
Greenbox also has 234 solar panels and energy-efficient insulation, and it incorporates numerous recyled materials into its design. The solar panels will generate 76,394 kilowatt hours annually and will eliminate the emission of an estimated 180,695 pounds of carbon dioxide annually.
With about 17,000 residents and 44,000 students attending college in the area, conveniently located, available storage space is in demand, Shafa says.
"Over the past 12 years, the residential population has grown more than 85 percent in downtown Denver," Shafa says. "There just isn't enough existing storage space to accommodate such growth, so we are thrilled to bring this new, state-of-the-art storage solution to Denver."
