The Reliable Furniture building was built in 1988 and U-Haul acquired the building in 1984. Adaptive reuse building conversions allow U-Haul to promote infill development to meet citizens’ needs while preserving the natural resources and land normally required for new construction. Adaptive reuse also allows resources to be focused on integrating environmentally thoughtful features into the existing building rather than creating waste in the form of demolition and using valuable resources for new construction.

Serving U-Haul customers since 1984, this facility was built through adaptive reuse of an abandoned building. Adaptive Reuse promotes infill development in an effort to strengthen communities, with the following benefits achieved at this site:

• 270 tons of metal manufacturing & transportation prevented
• 2,768 tons of new concrete pours avoided
• 3,038 tons of construction and demolition debris prevented
