U-Haul announced today it will convert a former GE site in Plainville to a full-service facility.
The real estate arm of Amerco, parent company of U-Haul, closed on the property March 24. U-Haul is currently offering truck and trailer rentals, moving supplies and U-Box containers at the old General Electric building, at 10 New Britain Ave., which sat vacant for approximately seven years. The 183,711-square-foot building is nestled on a 15-acre property.
The property will undergo renovations over the next year to expand its product and service line. When completed, plans call for a facility that will feature: 2,500 indoor, climate-controlled storage units; towing equipment and hitch installation; propane; premium RV, boat and vehicle parking/storage with electrical and sewer hookup in a covered, gated area; and drive-in load/unload zone inside the building for storage customers.
U-Haul intends to hire locally for the location, to be called Moving & Storage of Pinnacle Rock, which could staff 15 or more once the expansion is finished.
