South Beach Real Estate has long been know for its variety of glamorous properties, from commercial spaces to residential homes, which are often some of the most luxurious listings in the country. Recently however, the array of South Beach real estate has expanded to include self-storage as well, thanks to the visionary minds of Ken Edelman and Alan Potamkin, whom just received approval from the city planning board to build a 22,500 square-foot storage facility. It is set to be located at 633 Alton Road, just off the exit ramp from MacArthur Causeway, and according to Edelman will not exactly look like what typically comes to mind when people think of self-storage. The two businessmen have hired architect Manny Gutierrez to design the building in a way completely different from the customary, boxy structure usually seen. The self-storage facility is designed in a very modern style, with clean lines and beautiful exterior detail, which both men feel will give the building that certain South Beach glamour that the area’s architecture is famous for. This project has been in the making for four years, as it took a lot of convincing to get the city to approve the changes to zoning laws that had previously forbid self-storage facilities in the historical district. Everyone involved is very excited to finally be moving forward with the construction phase of the job. Edelman maintained his belief in the project throughout the wait, feeling that his facility would fill a gaping hole in the community, “the market is very underserved. There’s not enough self-storage on the beach. Everywhere you go in any community, there is a certain amount of self-storage needed to serve the needs of people.” The proposed storage facility will not only provide residents with the space they desire, but do so in a way that is on par with the characteristic South Beach glamour.

This new storage center will help to expand South Beach real estate even further, and in addition will stimulate demand for other South Beach properties in the area. The facility will make it easier for people who would like to buy or rent a space for a portion of the season, or those who are just in need of a convenient and luxurious place to store their extra stuff.
