will be built on 8.7 acres near Highway 10 and Riverdale Drive. The

The three facilities offer nearly 2,600 combined indoor
self-storage units with climate-control options and high-tech
security features. The properties, which were previously Extra
Space® Storage locations, were acquired on Thursday.

Blvd. W.) and U-Haul Storage of St. Paul (631 Transfer Road) each
have 890 self-storage units for rent. U-Haul Moving & Storage
of New Hope in Minneapolis (3216 Winnetka Ave. N.) houses 819
storage rooms.
Up to 26 new Team Members will be hired to staff and maintain
the stores, and U-Haul will look to hire locally to promote job
growth in the Twin Cities. Honored as a Best for Vets employer by
The Military Times, U-Haul recruits veterans and gives them
preference in the hiring process. Find careers at

“At U-Haul, we consistently focus on increasing customer
convenience,” said Kellin Sybrant, Area District Vice President who
oversees U-Haul operations in Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska and North
Dakota. “We’re excited to provide these locations to our fellow
Minnesotans in Bloomington, St. Paul and New Hope. We look forward
to adding more services at each location to better serve these
communities.”
Coming Soon
Scheduled for completion by fall 2026, U-Haul Moving &
Storage of Ramsey will be U-Haul Company of Northern Minnesota’s
first ground-up build. The 8.73-acre property at Highway 10 and
Riverdale Drive was acquired on Oct. 2. The lot was previously home
to a local organic farm.
The retail, moving and self-storage center will encompass seven
buildings with a total of 1,150 indoor climate-controlled and
drive-up storage units. A U-Box® warehouse will provide storage for
up to 800 portable moving containers.
Additional U-Haul services will include truck and trailer
sharing, professional hitch installation and towing accessories,
boxes and moving supplies, propane, and sustainability initiatives
like the Take A Box, Leave A Box program.
U-Haul intends to hire as many as 20 Team Members to staff the
Ramsey store when it is built.
