lendale, Ariz., is part of Phoenix’s thriving west corridor and has emerged as a key market for residential and commercial growth. Tucked just outside the downtown hustle is Palm Valley, where a growing population of homeowners, renters, and small businesses have a need for self-storage. Now serving them is a new Public Storage facility owned by WSD-Hamilton Palm Valley Storage, LLC and offering 126,272 rentable square feet across 779 units.

While many modern facilities climb skyward, developer Wentworth Storage Company and Robert Brown Architects kept this as a single level, making storage effortless with traditional and climate-controlled drive-up units.

James A. Campbell Construction, Inc. completed the project in 13 months, delivering a design that blends seamlessly into the community’s desert landscape. The façade pairs split-face and smooth concrete masonry units for visual depth, complemented by aluminum-framed glass doors secured by OpenTech. Inside, a full-service office leads to well-lit corridors equipped with Janus International doors and hallway systems.

As Glendale keeps growing, this thoughtfully designed facility will keep attracting tenants with storage that fits the urban desert lifestyle.
