Posted on June 11, 2025 at 8:00 am by Robby Piper

The Storage Center has officially opened its newly constructed, three-story self-storage facility at 3910 Cypressbrook Drive NW near Cummings Research Park, Huntsville, Alabama. Completed in May 2025, the property offers more than 850 modern, climate-controlled storage units across 106,600 square feet of rentable space. Designed to meet the evolving needs of local homeowners, university students, defense contractors, and tech startups alike, this state-of-the-art facility combines robust security measures, customer-focused amenities, and seamless digital rental tools to deliver a best-in-class storage experience in one of the nation’s fastest-growing technology hubs.

As the nation’s second-largest research park – home to over 300 companies and roughly 26,000 employees – Cummings Research Park generates steady demand for high-quality storage solutions. Situated just off Research Park Boulevard and minutes from Redstone Arsenal and the University of Alabama in Huntsville campus, The Storage Center’s newest location provides unparalleled convenience for those who work, study, or live in the area. Whether residents are moving into a nearby apartment, students need a secure place for seasonal belongings, or local contractors require additional space for equipment, this facility answers a diverse range of storage needs.

Unit sizes span from compact 5×5 storage lockers perfect for personal keepsakes and seasonal décor, up to expansive 10×30 storage spaces capable of holding furniture, commercial inventory, or full workshop equipment. Every unit is fully climate-controlled, protecting sensitive items—such as electronics, artwork, documents, and textiles—from extreme temperatures and humidity fluctuations. This environment-controlled feature ensures peace of mind for customers storing temperature-sensitive possessions, delivering consistent interior conditions year-round.

Security remains a cornerstone of the facility’s design. A perimeter fence and gated entry system protect the property, while individualized gate codes grant customers exclusive access. Dozens of high-resolution, 24/7 digital video cameras monitor every corner of the site, and bright exterior LED lighting ensures clear visibility after dusk. Internal hallway lighting and motion sensors further enhance safety within the building. Together, these measures create a secure, well-lit environment that reassures tenants their belongings are safeguarded at all times.

Understanding that convenience is critical, the facility offers fully contactless online reservations and account management through a mobile-friendly website. Prospective renters can view unit availability in real time, compare sizes, complete lease paperwork, and set up autopay billing in minutes—without ever stepping foot onsite. Once their move-in date arrives, customers receive personalized gate codes and can access their units whenever needed, all with the ease of a few taps on their smartphones.

For those who prefer in-person assistance, an on-site manager is available during extended office hours to answer questions, coordinate move-ins, and handle package acceptance. The property also features a retail corner stocked with moving boxes, packing tape, locks, and other essential supplies, making last-minute errands a thing of the past. Customers can drop off incoming parcels with confidence, knowing staff will secure deliveries until they arrive.

Rosehill Construction served as general contractor on the project, leveraging its Gulf South design-build expertise to keep the build on schedule and within budget. Known for delivering multi-story self-storage developments of 80,000 square feet and larger, Rosehill coordinated all phases—from site preparation and steel erection to interior finish work and systems commissioning. Their track record of safety, quality craftsmanship, and close client collaboration ensured the facility was ready for opening day without compromise.

Founded in 1986 and headquartered in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, The Storage Center has grown to operate 67 facilities across six states – Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, and Texas – managing more than 55,000 climate-controlled and vehicle-storage units. The company prides itself on a customer-first approach, investing in the latest technology and staff training to maintain consistently high satisfaction levels. Each property is designed and maintained with the same commitment to reliability, security, and convenience that has defined The Storage Center’s reputation for nearly four decades.

To celebrate the Huntsville facility’s grand opening, The Storage Center is offering First Month Free for customers who reserve online by July 31, 2025.
