This is the latest and greatest concept when it comes to storage. Why own vs. rent? Well here are some of the many reasons.

A) Privacy and security. Since this is an ownership community, it greatly decreases the amount of constant newcomers like at standard rental facilities. There is pride of ownership at Garage Plus. Also, there was a significant investment in the security system to ensure maximum safety and security. Full perimeter fencing with intrusion detection, twenty-six cameras in phase one alone and a key card tracking system that shows the date and time when someone enters the facility and exits the facility. All units are also individually alarmed and protected with individual fire suppression.

B) Great investment opportunity. Storage condos are safe and solid investments for many reasons, but here’s just a few to give an idea: Being such a new concept, this type of real estate is very limited in the market place, so you should have no problem finding a buyer if you decide to sell your space. This limited availability also helps maintain a constant value and provides an opportunity for appreciation every year that you have possession of your garage. One last point that gives Garage Plus units a definite value is that we are the only storage facility in Pierce County that has been approved for an active storage use. When given the amenities, the quality, and the ability to actually own this storage workshop space, there is nothing else out in the local market place that compares to it today. There are limited Charter Member positions available so please inquire on how to reserve your spot today so you can take advantage of all these great benefits!

C) Sell whenever. Even if you don't have your garage paid off, you can still put it on the market for sale! Simply sell it for your asking price, pay off what you owe, and keep the difference. We can consult with you in more detail about this process if you have any questions. So if your question was can I sell my garage, the answer is yes.

D) Build your credit. This will help build your credit and this purchase will look great in anyone's investment portfolio.

E) Sub-leasing option available. You can sub-lease your garage. Let’s say you move away for a few years or you just simply want to earn some extra money every month. You can lease out your space while you’re not using it!

F) Build equity. This type of real estate has a history of appreciation across the country. Since there is a very limited amount of garage condos on the market in this area, it is very likely that your space will be worth more in the near future. Especially after all the upgrades and modifications that you might make in your unit, this will also increase its value.

Although you can’t live in your garage, Garage Plus never closes. You can work or hang out in your garage however long and whenever you need to regardless of the hour. Local noise ordinance rules and laws apply.

Well this is entirely up to the person and their preferences, but here are the benefits as to why it is better to own at Garage Plus rather than build on your own land. First, you must purchase the land if you don't already have it to build on. You must then go through the county's process to obtain building permits. Third, you must bid out the materials and hire a sub contractor to build your garage, or, build it yourself. You won’t have the added security of Garage Plus's state of the art security system. You probably won’t be doing radiant heating in your floor since your just building one garage and installing all the piping and boilers is not practical or cost effective. Garage Plus garages are commercial real estate and it will be easier to sell your garage here at Garage Plus rather than one on your own land. If you happen to move and sell your house and garage you just built, you’re going to have to build another one! If you owned at Garage Plus, you can sell as many houses as you want, and your garage will still be right where it is with no worries of having to build or purchase another one. You also won’t have access to our active member’s clubhouse and park areas, the RV dump and waste water station, and the onsite car wash. Plus you won’t be meeting and hanging out with new people that share the same interests as you. Garage Plus has far more benefits than building one of your own; it just depends on what fits your needs and lifestyle the best!

Yes! This is one of the main benefits of purchasing your garage as opposed to renting it. Statistics show that across the country, these types of facilities appreciate in value! This is a very good real estate investment. So for whatever reason you want to sell your garage down the road, you have that option and the luxury of retaining the future profits. This is a key benefit that Garage Plus is passing on to you. There is high demand for storage condominiums now, and we foresee even more of a demand in the future.

Garage Plus insures the building and the property you insure the contents.

If you can afford to pay monthly rental fees at a typical car, boat, RV, or other heated storage facility, you can afford to purchase your garage at Garage Plus. Come down and see us at our showroom and purchase your garage in Phase One before they are all taken! If you want to take advantage of the price savings and the Charter Membership, you must come see us now!

With rare exception they are seventeen feet high when you step into your garage and climb to a peak of twenty feet. Yes, high enough to have a car lift or loft which is a great way to add square footage to your unit; this was a must!

Yes. Garage Plus has a garage size for every type of motorized vehicle. In our King Plus which is our largest garage, you can park the biggest motor home legal to drive, put the bump-outs out, and still have room to walk around your RV! Ever have a hard time backing up that boat and trailer into a certain size unit? Purchase the Double! It has a garage door on each end keeping your life simple!

Yes and no. You cannot use your garage as a retail store front and have customers coming in and out all the time. You can store business materials or inventory and write it off on your taxes as a business expense though!

Yes! This is what is so great and unique about Garage Plus. The mini-storage code for Pierce County restricts the amount of work you can do in regular storage units. What would be the point of having these big work shop sized units if you couldn’t do anything in them? Well, Garage Plus worked diligently with the county for a lengthy period of time to secure the one and only Active Use Permit the county has ever issued.

No, you can’t live in your garage due to code restrictions in Pierce County. Your Man Cave is a place to escape to and use for fun, store your items, business materials, and or prized possessions. Not a permanent residence.

Yes, you will pay garage owner dues. They are between $32 - $99 per month depending on the square footage of your unit. These dues cover the landscape and maintenance of all the common spaces including the complete upkeep of the clubhouse, the full time office and site manager, the radiant heat in the floor, and the state of the art security system. If you are a Charter Member your dues are paid by  Garage Plus for the first year!
