Every growing business eventually hits the same wall. The stockroom is full, the office closet has become an archive, and the truck bed is doing double duty as a tool chest. You are not short on ambition. You are short on square footage, and the commercial lease rates across Western North Carolina make solving that problem the expensive way a hard pill to swallow.
Jumbo Storage offers a different answer. Our oversized private storage units function as personal warehouses for business owners, contractors, dealers, and anyone else whose inventory has outgrown its current home. Located in Arden, NC just minutes from the Asheville Regional Airport, our facility gives local businesses room to breathe without the commitment of a commercial building.
Why Local Businesses Run Out of Room
Growth is a good problem, but it is still a problem. As sales climb, so does the volume of things you need to keep somewhere safe and reachable. Files and records accumulate year after year. Seasonal inventory arrives months before you need it. Tools, jobsite equipment, display fixtures, and holiday decorations all need a home between uses.
Traditional self storage rarely solves this at scale. Standard units are too small, ceilings are too low, and door heights make receiving a pallet delivery nearly impossible. Renting warehouse or flex space, meanwhile, means signing a multi-year lease for space you may only need part of the year.
Our storage condominiums sit in the middle of those two extremes. They are large, private, and secure, with the kind of access that makes them genuinely usable during a workday.
What Makes a Jumbo Storage Personal Warehouse Different
Size That Actually Fits Commercial Needs
Jumbo Storage offers 11 different unit sizes ranging from 896 to 1,500 square feet, with 19-foot ceiling heights throughout. That vertical clearance is not a rounding error. It is the difference between stacking two rows of inventory and stacking four, and it lets you install racking that multiplies your usable footprint.
Available dimensions include:
- 22' x 45', 22' x 50', and 22' x 60'
- 24' x 40', 24' x 45', 24' x 50', and 24' x 60'
- 25' x 40', 25' x 50', 25' x 55', and 25' x 60'
If none of those quite fits, neighboring units can be combined with a doorway of at least 8 feet, or two units can be joined end to end with the specially designed common wall removed to create a drive-through space. Combined configurations require a long-term lease.
Doors and Driveways Built for Deliveries
Receiving freight at a typical storage facility is an exercise in frustration. Our overhead doors measure 14 feet wide by 16 or 17 feet tall, and the drive aisles between buildings run 50 to 60 feet wide, with an additional 5-foot apron extending from each building. A box truck, a flatbed, or a 45-foot trailer can maneuver comfortably. Each unit also has a 3' x 7' locking pedestrian door for quick trips when you do not need the bay open.
Power at Every Unit
Each garage comes with 30/50 amp electrical service on an individually metered connection, so you pay for what you use. That makes it practical to run lighting, charge equipment batteries, operate a compressor, or keep a workbench functional while you sort inventory.
What Business Owners Keep in Their Units
Our tenants use their space in a wide range of ways. Common uses include:
- Business files, records, and archived paperwork
- Inventory and overstock, including off-season merchandise
- Tools, jobsite equipment, and contractor supplies
- Trade show booths, signage, and display fixtures
- Seasonal decorations and event materials
- Company vehicles, trailers, and towable equipment
- Furniture and fixtures during an office move or renovation
Because every unit is fully insulated, private, and accessible only to you, there is no shared hallway, no shuffling carts through a corridor, and no wondering who else has been near your inventory.
How to Choose the Right Unit
Picking a size is easier when you work through it in order. Here is a straightforward approach:
- Inventory what you actually need to store. List the large items first, then estimate boxes, totes, and pallets.
- Measure your tallest and longest items. With 19-foot ceilings and a 14-foot door width, most oversized equipment clears without issue, but it is worth confirming.
- Plan for vertical storage. Racking or shelving can double or triple what a footprint holds, which often means a smaller unit works fine.
- Leave an access lane. Reserve room to walk or drive through so you are not unloading the front half to reach the back.
- Think about next year. If you expect growth, choose slightly larger now or ask about combining adjacent units later.
- Take a tour. Standing inside a unit tells you more in five minutes than any measurement chart.
Amenities Included at the Property
Jumbo Storage was designed with practical, low-maintenance amenities that make the property genuinely useful rather than just a place to park boxes:
- 24/7/365 access with gate codes
- Fully fenced perimeter
- Common restrooms near the facility entrance
- Common exterior wash area
- Common dump station
- On-site dumpster
- Extra-wide driveways for easy ingress and egress
- Individually metered 30/50 amp electrical service
Location and Access
The facility sits off Airport Road in Arden, NC, close to the Asheville Regional Airport with quick connections to I-26 and I-40. For businesses serving Buncombe and Henderson counties, that means a short trip from most job sites, shops, and offices in the region. Suppliers and freight carriers can find the property easily, and there is no downtown traffic to navigate when you are hauling a trailer.
Round-the-clock access matters more than most people expect. Contractors loading at 5:00 a.m. and retailers restocking after closing time do not have to work around office hours.
Leasing Options and What to Expect
Our units are available on a month-to-month basis or for longer terms if that suits your planning better. Short-term leasing options are also available for businesses handling a renovation, a seasonal surge, or a temporary overflow situation. For many small business owners, storage costs are a deductible business expense, though your accountant is the right person to confirm how that applies to your situation.
Some owners approach this as an investment rather than a rental. A small group of related businesses sharing a single storage condominium can split the cost while each gaining dedicated space.
We do not publish pricing here because unit size, term length, and configuration all affect the number. Contact us or call (828) 450-1077 for current leasing details and to schedule a walkthrough.
A Few Things to Know Before You Lease
Jumbo Storage does not offer climate-controlled units. Our garages are fully insulated with quality steel-frame construction, which suits most business inventory, equipment, and records well, but it is not the right fit for goods requiring strict temperature or humidity regulation.
City regulations also restrict how the property is used. You may store business property, but you may not operate a business on site, and no one may live in a unit. Working on your own vehicles and projects inside your unit is permitted, though common areas must stay clear and clean for everyone.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use my unit as an office or storefront?
No. City restrictions prohibit operating a business on the property. The units are intended for storage of business property such as files, inventory, tools, and equipment.
Do you offer climate-controlled storage?
We do not. Every unit is fully insulated with steel-frame construction and well-insulated doors and walls, which works well for most commercial storage needs.
How wide are the driveways between buildings?
Driveways range from 50 to 60 feet wide, plus a 5-foot apron extending from each building for an additional 10 feet of maneuvering room. Even a 45-foot trailer has space to turn.
Can I access my unit outside of business hours?
Yes. Tenants have 24/7/365 access with a gate code.
What if I need more space than the largest unit?
Adjacent units can be combined through a doorway of at least 8 feet, or joined end to end by removing the common wall to create a drive-through garage. A long-term lease is required for combined units.
Is short-term leasing available?
Yes. Month-to-month terms and short-term options are both available. Reach out for details.
