Self-Storage
Storage units that rent because they are easy to reach and dry.
Orton Companies builds self-storage buildings in Minnesota — drive-up rows, climate buildings, and facility expansions planned for circulation, snow, and security. We deliver post-frame and steel storage that operators can fill.
Who we build this for
Storage operators and landowners adding units in a Minnesota market that still has demand for clean, accessible space.
What we offer
- Drive-up and interior-access unit mixes
- Climate-controlled building options
- Snow storage and drive-aisle widths that work in winter
- Security lighting, fencing, and camera paths
- Office and retail frontage options
- Phased rows so cash flow can fund the next building
How we build it
Aisle width and snow storage fail more Minnesota storage sites than unit count. We design circulation first, then the buildings.
The process
01
Your site and how you will use it
Orton Companies walks the property, maps access, drainage, and utilities, and locks how you will use the building so it fits Minnesota code and your daily work.
02
Design and materials
We produce a clear layout, how the building will look from the street, and a steel-and-timber package sized for snow load, wind, and the way you will actually use the space.
03
Construction
A licensed crew sets posts or frame, encloses the shell, and finishes doors, roof, and interiors on a schedule built for Minnesota seasons.
04
Walkthrough
You walk the finished building with us, we close the punch list, and you get a space ready for equipment, animals, customers, or living — from the same team that designed it.
Built for Minnesota
