he city of Rhome has small-town charm to spare, but it is actively working to accommodate new development. Part of that growth is Noah’s Ark Self Storage, located just off U.S. Highway 287 for great visibility and accessibility. Constructed and owned by the Parhams and designed by the Kaufman Design Group, the 124,000-square-foot, Class-A facility blends in with the surrounding community and consists of four buildings and plenty of RV parking. Currently, the facility is 100 percent remote thanks to Joshua Management and the Janus Nokē Smart Entry system, allowing management to monitor the facility from afar.

Site selection was a strategic move, with the Parhams purchasing the land before the implementation of zoning laws. Now grandfathered in, annexing the property in phases to accommodate population growth will be easy; the forward-thinking family even created two access points so tenants would not be disrupted when additional construction begins. Phases two and three will expand the number of rentable square feet and erect an office. At that time, an on-site manager will be brought in to engage with people and ensure Noah’s Ark is a staple within the close-knit community.
