Self Storage Group Development LLC (SSGD) has broken ground on a six-story building conversion in Bridgeport, Conn. The company purchased the former home of Connecticut Limousine for $2 million and will turn the building into a modern, multi-story self-storage facility.

The building will be SSGDs ninth self-storage facility and is likely to have three to five employees, said Gerald Cohen, development manager. The conversion is scheduled to be completed next spring.

The property is in a portion of the city that has been revitalized by redevelopment over the last several years. However, the self-storage conversion reportedly will be the first construction project on this particular portion of Commerce Drive in 30 years. The building has been vacant for several years.

Based in Brookline, Mass., SSGD owns facilities in multiple states.
