Real estate developer Don Kellebrew and property owner Robert Hager Jr. have filed plans in Napa, Calif., to build a self-storage facility on a 1.2-acre, flag-shaped lot. The asset would comprise 25,700 square feet in about 77 units. The $3 million project would include three single-story buildings and an office at 3117 California Blvd., according to the source.

Plans include wine storage and units designed to store other “precious items,” Kellebrew told city officials in a description letter last month. The project would also include an “architectural cosmetic wall” along the property line adjacent to Highway 29. The theme would evoke the Napa Valley’s wineries.

Though the property abuts Highway 29, tenants would access the facility off a driveway from California Boulevard. The target site is north of the driveway, while a Van Winden Landscaping business sits to the south. The lot has been vacant for about 15 years and previously housed an auto dismantler, the source reported.

Hager purchased the land in March for $905,000 for the purpose of developing self-storage. Local demand can support an increase of up to 20 percent more units, he told the source. “I like that it’s a flag lot,” Hager said. “It’s got a private entrance.”

The parcel is near another self-storage project proposed in March by developer Wayne O’Connell. The facility at 1890 Pueblo Ave. would comprise 40,000 square feet in 375 units.
