Real estate developer Peter Issa is in the final stages of acquiring a half-acre property in Barbican, Kingston, Jamaica, on which he intends to build a self-storage facility. The $600,000 project will offer storage containers configured into units from 25 to 320 square feet, and could be open by September, according to the source.

“Just visualize 40-foot and 20-foot containers positioned around a half-acre lot. I’m going to section them off and then have loading docks,” Issa told the source. A 40-foot container can be split into five separate units, he said.

The entrepreneur plans to target residential and business customers, with units available for rent on a monthly and annual basis. Additional locations will be considered “depending on how this one does,” Issa said.
