A Step Beyond: Self-Storage for Darien, by Darien

Hollow Tree

If you love wine and have ever wished for a wine cellar, or wondered about having one but didn’t have the time or want to spend the money to build and maintain it, or simply wanted more space to store a collection (or inventory, if you run a small business or restaurant), wish, wonder and want no more.

Hollow Tree Self Storage (HTSS) at 131 Hollow Tree Ridge Road across from the Noroton Heights train station has you covered with its state-of-the-art wine vault. It’s a vast, subterranean assortment of climate-controlled, vibration-free spaces meticulously constructed for proper wine storage.

Built to meet the needs of the Darien market by owners Robert and Tim Wood and John and Paul Hertz, two sets of brothers who grew up in Darien and know the town well, the vault is just one of the offerings that elevate this unique self-storage facility beyond what you might expect from a storage resource.

Added Security

Certainly HTSS is conveniently located right in town, and spotless too. It’s also secure. But not only is the property gated with a locked building (accessed via codes unique for each tenant) and covered by extensive camera surveillance, every unit is also individually armed, providing an extra layer of protection. HTSS gives tenants an added 24/7 eye on their unit through a mobile security app.

Storage for Every Item

With 30 different-size units to choose from—ranging from climate-controlled 5’ x 5’ units (the size of a small closet) to 20’ x 42’ units (which can fit a whole house), HTSS can accommodate everything from
off-season sports gear, decluttering overflow, your child’s dorm room possessions or even motorcycles, to items from a parents’ downsizing, baby furniture or the contents of whole rooms and homes prompted by a move or renovation.

With month-to-month rental options, tenants take the space they need for the time they need it. That’s it.

At HTSS, customers may also choose drive-up units. While well-insulated, these are not climate-controlled. Rather, they are like extra garage space where tenants store vehicles, tools and any additional items that do not require a controlled temperature.

HTSS even offers commuter parking options and outdoor storage for boats, RVs and trailers. For the small business owners, HTSS built a loading dock for drop shipments.

Environmentally-Friendly

HTSS pushes for better in its energy sourcing as well. With its 298 rooftop solar panels, HTSS fully powers its building, minimizing its carbon foot print and providing a model for sustainable operations.

A Cut Above

With a friendly and accommodating on-site property management team, tenants can send deliveries directly to HTSS (with advance notice). HTSS also offers contactless entry for tenants to access belongings seven days a week, from 6 am to 9 pm with extended hours as necessary. Plus, there is always a manager on call after office hours for emergencies.

Along with its commitment to supporting local non-profits including Person-to-Person, The Community Fund, the Darien Community Association and the Darien Chamber of Commerce, HTSS exceeds expectations every step of the way, with both its product and its service.
