Extra Space Manayunk

59 Leverington Ave, Philadelphia, PA

Located in the Manayunk neighborhood of Philadelphia, this storage facility was developed between an existing elevated railroad and a viaduct on a 1.5 acre parcel.

The 600 unit facility reached stabilized occupancy in 18 months.

Towamencin Storage

1520 Franklin St, Harleysville, PA
