Update 6/18/15 - IREC has completed construction on the Global Self Storage expansion project, adding 23,650 square feet of storage space with the two-story building. The project included an elevator and two stair towers. A combination of brick and stucco comprise the decorative façade, according to a press release.

The project began last summer and experienced challenges on the exterior work due to harsh winter weather that included extreme temperature swings and significant snowfall, IREC officials said.

6/25/14 - Construction of the final phase of Global Self Storage in Sadsburyville, Pa., is underway and will add 23,000 square feet to the property. Slated to be completed in November, the new two-story building will provide a mix of climate-controlled drive-up and interior units. Global Self Storage currently consists of 60,450 square feet of building space.

Sadsburyville is in western Chester County, Pa. The town is bisected by U.S. Route 30, which is part of the historic Lincoln Highway. Global Self Storage is just off Route 30 and visible from the historic highway.

The expansion will be completed by Investment Real Estate Construction LLC (IREC), a branch of York, Pa.-based Investment Real Estate LLC (IRE). The company has a long history with Global Self Storage, previously providing its feasibility study, construction management, property management and brokerage services.

IREC is also in the process of adding two climate-controlled buildings at CaGe Self Storage in Dillsburg, Pa., and constructing a 12,600-square-foot storage expansion of a Moove In Self Storage facility in Lancaster, Pa.

Since its inception in 1998, IRE has provided brokerage, construction, management and development services to self-storage owners and investors.
