Manchester, NH – In October, True Storage opened its sixth Class A self-storage facility in New Bedford, MA. Located at 969 Shawmut Avenue, this is the first facility under the True Storage umbrella that will be managed by Extra Space Storage.

This newly renovated facility was once the home of Parallel Products, an 89,000 SF recycling distribution center that closed in 2020. True Storage obtained the property in early 2021, and converted the rundown, single story center into a state-of-the-art self-storage facility with 627 climate-controlled units, as well as a handful of drive-up access units.

Extra Space Storage customers will not only find that this location has convenient freeway access, but also flexible gate hours, 24-hour interior and exterior video surveillance, security access to the unit, a variety of unit sizes, covered loading bay, and high-end finishes throughout the facility.

“We are excited to be part of the New Bedford community,” said Chris Lewis, Director of Architecture & Design for True Storage. “We have received overwhelming support and enjoyed a collaborative process with New Bedford City officials. This store will not only provide a needed service to the community and surrounding businesses, but it enhances the visual appeal of the area. It’s a perfect location amidst the residential, industrial and retail neighbors including McDonalds, Price Rite, and Dollar Tree.”

True Storage, a self-storage developer that focuses on bringing value and lifestyle experiences to communities across the country, has proudly completed the build of several other Class A facilities in Swansea and Bourne, MA, Manchester, NH, Cranston, RI, and Lafayette, IN, and has broken ground on additional facilities in New England, Michigan, Florida, and Ohio, with a dozen more in the pipeline.
