September 12, 2025: Manhattan Mini Storage is converting and expanding an eight-story office building in the Garment District of Manhattan, New York, to self-storage. The structure at 152 W. 36th St. will be extended vertically to 15 stories comprising 75,000 square feet in 1,500 units. The project was designed by JMN Architecture and developed by Flatiron Equities and Mequity Cos. Flatiron and Mequity purchased the property last September from Falcon Properties for $23.8 million and acquired air rights for the expansion.

Manhattan Mini was founded in 1978 as a family-owned business. It operates 34 self-storage facilities in Brooklyn, Long Island, Manhattan and Queens, New York. It was acquired in 2021 by StorageMart, which operates more than 300 self-storage properties across Canada, the United Kingdom and the U.S.
