The growth of the housing and apartment markets in Badger Canyon and the surrounding area prompted the owners of Cottonwood Self Storage to build a facility to accommodate residents’ increasing storage needs.

The owners of the storage and RV parking facility added a variety of unit sizes at 105106 Wiser Parkway in Kennewick.

The first phase of the project is 32,000 square feet with 211 rental units and 50 outdoor designated RV parking spots.

The business aims to create a safe environment for its customers and their belongings with automatic gates, code access features, great lighting and a high-end surveillance system.

The facility’s 900-square-foot office space has a fully integrated 24-hour kiosk with a high-end security system installed by Advanced Protection Services. It was completed in mid-August.

The second phase of the project is set to begin in spring 2017 with the addition of 40,000 square feet of rental units, large indoor RV bays and indoor truck/car/toy and boat parking.

Cottonwood Self Storage LLC partners are Jay and Amy Brantingham, and Jerritt and Hailey Wiser.

Adam Hall, general manager of CRF Metal Works LLC of Pasco, oversaw the project.

Jay Brantingham, owner of CRF, designed the facility with safety in mind. Customers are able to see down every aisle from Wiser Parkway.
