Arco Design/Build, a provider of design-build construction, has formed a dedicated Self-Storage Division. The dedicated team focuses on delivering comprehensive solutions tailored to the unique needs of self-storage developers. Arco has over 300 completed facilities nationwide totaling more than 30 million square feet.
The division offers comprehensive services, including predevelopment feasibility analysis, project planning, site development, and integrated design-build construction.
The announcement comes as the U.S. self-storage market continues its expansion. The market was valued at $44.20 billion in 2022 with projected annual growth of 5.3% throughout 2030, according to Research and Markets. Fueled by urbanization trends and increasing consumer demand for flexible storage solutions, this growth underscores the need for experienced partners who can deliver projects efficiently and cost-effectively.
“This division represents the formalization of our proven capabilities rather than a new venture,” said Eric Thompson, who will lead the new division as president. “Through our team’s experience delivering hundreds of successful self-storage projects nationwide, we’ve developed specialized knowledge that our clients value. They consistently seek partners who understand both the technical construction aspects and the business-specific requirements of self-storage development.”
Thompson will lead the Self-Storage Division alongside Josh Warkentine, director of operations, with Adam Winters serving as director of business development. Together, they bring decades of experience specifically focused on self-storage design, development and construction.
“Self-storage developments face unique challenges that require specialized expertise,” said Rob Steigerwald, CEO of Arco Design/Build. “By establishing this dedicated division, we’re enhancing our ability to deliver consistent quality across all projects. We’re also implementing a unified approach to serving the industry’s evolving needs.”
