Innovative mezzanine designs help developers maximize space, increase property value, and enhance owner flexibility in large premium storage and storage condo developments
BOISE, Idaho, July 21, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Forge Building Company, a leading innovator in reliable, high-performance steel building systems, is expanding its portfolio of value-added building solutions with custom-engineered steel mezzanine systems designed specifically for large premium storage units and storage condominiums.
As demand continues to grow for premium storage facilities that accommodate recreational vehicles, collector cars, boats, business equipment, and other high-value assets, developers are looking for ways to deliver greater functionality and long-term value within each unit. Forge's mezzanine systems provide an effective solution by transforming unused vertical space into highly functional square footage without increasing the building footprint.
"Today's premium storage buyers are looking for much more than a place to park a vehicle," said Hamish Bell, president of Forge Building Company. "They want flexible spaces that support their lifestyle, hobbies, businesses, and investments. Mezzanines allow developers to deliver a more versatile product while maximizing the value of every unit."
By utilizing a building's vertical space, mezzanines significantly expand usable square footage while maintaining open floor space below for large vehicles and equipment. Owners can customize the upper level for office space, business inventory, workshops, recreational areas, seasonal storage, or entertainment space, creating a unit that adapts to changing needs over time.
Beyond increasing functionality for individual owners, mezzanines also provide meaningful advantages for developers. Offering premium mezzanine options helps differentiate projects in competitive markets, creates opportunities for upgraded unit packages, and can increase buyer interest by delivering more usable space within the same building envelope.
Unlike aftermarket additions, Forge engineers each mezzanine as an integrated component of the overall building system. Structural loading requirements, span capabilities, stair placement, headroom clearances, access points, and future functionality are carefully evaluated during the design process to support long-term durability, safety, and performance.
The company's design-build approach allows mezzanines to be incorporated seamlessly into new construction while supporting the architectural and operational goals of each development. Forge partners with developers throughout North America to design and construct steel building systems for self-storage, premium storage condominiums, boat and RV storage, and flex space. By combining engineering expertise with practical construction experience, Forge helps clients maximize building performance, operational efficiency, and long-term return on investment.
