FRAMINGHAM, Mass., March 30, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- U-Haul® is offering 636 newly constructed self-storage units at 15 Pleasant St. Connector, a property that was acquired in March 2018.
U-Haul Moving & Storage of Framingham-Southborough introduced the completed facility on Friday.

"We're investing in Framingham, and now we're able to show off this state-of-the-art moving and self-storage facility," U-Haul store general manager Mason Souliere noted. "This building was constructed in 1966 and was vacant for many years. We invite the community to stop by and see the work we've put into it."
