The Rosenblum family is about to open its newest and largest ValuSpace Personal Storage facility at 1607 Route 9 in Halfmoon.
The facility will have 900 storage units of various sizes, accessible at any time by the renters.
The property was under construction for seven months, according to Daniele Haase, assistant manager of the other two ValuSpace sites: Hoosick Road in Brunswick and Russell Road in Albany. She could not provide construction cost figures for Halfmoon but noted that the Albany facility, with 700 units, cost about $7 million to build.
The Rosenblums are long-time property developers, building office, warehouse, and residential structures. They entered the personal storage business two years ago.
Monthly rental fees will begin at $65 a month for the smallest 5×5-foot units, said Haase. Details are on the company’s website, valuspace.com.
The facility will be open from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. 365 days a year, with the office staffed from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. daily, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturdays and 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sundays. There is a lounge with coffee, water and snacks and places to sit.
At other times, clients will be able to use a personal PIN code to open the gate and reach their units.
In addition to the personal storage units, ValuSpace sets aside units where nonprofit organizations can store things. There are also specialized corporate units where, for example, a law firm can store closed files.
ValuSpace can be reached through its website or by telephone at (518) 992-3216.
