New Storage - Making Dreams a Reality

When Rod Baker, owner of Baker First Commercial Real Estate, has a dream, it will become a reality!   Nine years ago, Baker was aware the Walmart building at Reno and S. Midwest Blvd in Midwest City would soon be vacant.   Baker knew expanding into the Midwest City market would be perfect for Security Self Storage and a dream was born. 

The Walmart location sat empty for eight years as the property went on the market and then off.    For eight years the 17 acre lot was an empty eye sore on the Midwest City map.     Finally in December of 2012, Baker’s client; MWC Self Storage Investors, LLC was able to close on the property and begin turning the vacant property into a new storage facility.

Alliance Property Development began construction in mid-January 2013 when 8.5 acres, which included the Walmart store itself, were fenced off to become the new MWC location for Security Self Storage.   The entire inside of the building was demolished, leaving only the exterior walls.   Jay Baker, Director of Construction for Alliance Property Development, said “After demo, a non-load bearing system was installed to create the separate storage units.”   The entrance into the remodeled facility is now be on S. Midwest Blvd.

The Midwest City location has 17,803 square feet of climate controlled storage; the largest climate controlled facility in the OKC metro with 145 units.  There will be 60,000 sf of exterior units.  When converting the Walmart building, openings on the east and west walls create the driveway access to the exterior storage units.  Cindy Polando, the Market Manager over all eight locations, stated “A unique feature to this location is a covered drive over the exterior unit doors.  We are one of the few places in the metro that offers you rain free, snow free access to your units.” 

Resident Managers George & Elaine Fast made the move from the Security Self Storage location near Memorial & N. Santa Fe to the new Midwest City facility.   They have been managers with Security Self Storage for over nine years.  Elaine says “It’s good to get back home to the community George and I are from.  We are looking forward to serving the Mid-Del area with great storage prices and super nice units.”

An almost 10 year vision is finally open! What once was a dream is now a reality.   With the 8^th location of Security Self Storage, from Bethany to Midwest City, and Norman to Edmond, We’ve Got YOUR Storage,
Covered!
