Here is an update on my strip center self storage redevelopment. Everything is going well the center has been completely clean out and now I only have four walls, a roof, and floor. (we still have the ac(s) on the roof and the main electric panel) The city is making us install some firewalls that way I will not have to install a sprinkler system. I meet with an engineering company that way I can get some drawing on the firewalls. Until I get the drawing my GC will not be able to pull a building permit. So I am hoping the engineering company does not take to long. Other than that phase one of the project includes outside parking yet again the city is thinking they want me to have the planing commission approve the parking lot or at least have the city planner sign off on it. With that being said so far the city has been good to work with and they seem to be willing to let me do what I would like to so far on the project. At the same time I am getting pricing with my subcontractors and working with my self storage design guy due to the units having to move around because of the firewalls. See below for a picture.
