When Jumbo Capital Management was ready to build its CubeSmart self-storage facility in Everett, Mass., it called on Connolly Brothers to manage the construction of building. From the ground up, the Connolly team erected framed steel beams, a composite deck atop concrete slabs, an insulated metal panel exterior sheathing system, a glass curtainwall system, an insulated roof membrane system, and decorative masonry on exterior walls. The building houses more than 1,200 temperature-controlled self-storage units, an access control system, two freight elevators, and dedicated sales/administration offices, and is adjoined by customer parking areas. Connolly worked in collaboration with Surus Development & Construction on the project, which included the removal and replacement of more than 35,000 cubic yards of structurally unsuitable soil.

“Connolly Brothers did an excellent job with a very challenging site," says Steve Laverty, partner at Jumbo Capital Management. “The population density we target for these assets frequently leads to difficult site conditions, traffic mitigation, and tight site logistics. We very much appreciate our construction partners that help us mitigate risk and execute these projects."
