Storage Building Project:
Lone Silo Storage | Commercial Storage Facilities
Waukesha, Wisconsin
Project Overview:
Located in Wisconsin, this 2024 commercial development showcases how Walters Buildings delivers premium post-frame storage solutions tailored to business operations. Lone Silo Storage partnered with Walters to construct three post-frame buildings designed for RV, boat, and luxury vehicle storage, combining durability with a sleek, modern aesthetic to attract long-term tenants.
Each building features JWS red and charcoal steel panels accented with masonry accents, balancing low-maintenance performance with curb appeal. Together, the facilities create a high-quality storage business that maximizes leasable square footage while enhancing the property’s iconic setting beside the “Lone Silo.”
About the Buildings:
- Building One (42′ x 100′ x 16′) – Includes an office, inset porch, stone masonry wainscot, three cupolas, and three overhead doors for easy access.
- Building Two (50′ x 150′ x 16′) – Features a solar front design with ten units (each 50′ x 15′), engineered to shed Wisconsin snow efficiently.
- Building Three (50′ x 240′ x 16′) – Another solar front layout with decorative masonry on the end wall, offering 16 rental units (each 50′ x 15′) for spacious RV and boat storage.
Together, these buildings demonstrate Walters’ ability to deliver customized commercial storage facilities that serve both business operators and tenants.
