Facility Overview
This commercial self storage facility construction project involved the design and build of the Store Local facility located at 8 Saltaire Way, Port Kennedy, WA. Set on a 9,390m² site, the development features two buildings:

The facility is fully autonomous with no on-site Store Local personnel. The construction utilised on-site cast concrete panels with in-situ concrete columns and floors.
