If your self-storage facility is going to stand alongside retail outlets, restaurants and office complexes, it had better look the part! Industry properties are making their way into commercial zones and even residential areas—but not without a lot of effort to convince municipal boards and communities that they belong there.

The result has been not only acceptance but even public praise. See why in this visual tour of stunning properties.
