Why This Property?
Growing Local Demand for Self-Storage
Tolland and the surrounding region are experiencing significant growth in both single-family and multi-family residential construction, creating increased demand for self-storage solutions. Highlights include:
• A new 240-unit apartment complex under construction in Tolland, bringing a surge of potential customers in need of storage space.
• Robust growth in single-family home development in the area, with new housing communities and expanding neighborhoods driving additional demand.
• The proximity to the UConn Storrs campus, which provides steady storage needs from students, faculty, and university staff.
Regional Growth and Demographics
The Tolland region is experiencing a broader pattern of economic and population growth, with a rising influx of professionals, families, and renters seeking convenient housing options. This upward trend, combined with limited self-storage supply in the immediate area, makes this an excellent opportunity to fill the gap in the market and capture growing consumer demand.

The versatility of the existing 34,000 square feet, paired with the option to add additional drive-up units on the vacant land, allows for creative and scalable storage configurations tailored to the market’s needs.
Asking Price
The property is offered for sale at $2,799,990.
