The company owns four other properties in development, two of which are in New York and one of which is also in the Bronx and two of which are in South Florida," reported Allan Sweet, Chief Executive Officer of Safeguard Self Storage.

Safeguard built the Bronx I store on the same street, nearly immediately adjacent to this new store and opened it in 2005. Thus, we know this market well. With this new store open, we continue to move full speed ahead on the company’s West Farms location in the Bronx and expect to open that store next year,” said James Goonan, Senior Vice President of Development who has been leading the development activities of Safeguard portfolio for 13 years.

What makes Safeguard unique is the relationship that we develop with our customers--they are very important to us. We look forward to continuing to serve the residents and business people of the Bronx that we’ve gotten to know over the past eight years. It's a great community and we're proud to be part of it."
