Manhattan Mini Storage Repurposes Former Cinema on Upper East Side

Manhattan Mini Storage is expanding its reach on the Upper East Side with plans to repurpose the former CMX Cinema at 400 E. 62nd St. into self-storage. The six-level conversion will add 65,000 net rentable square feet of storage and 1,200 climate-controlled units to the area by 2024. 

The expansion will add to the existing Manhattan Mini Storage facility located at 420 E 62nd St. and will feature two industrial grade elevators and fully enclosed loading bays for customer convenience. 

“This expansion of our existing property provides an opportunity for growth in one of the most coveted neighborhoods where self-storage is otherwise difficult to enter,” said Alex Burnam, global director of acquisitions. “We look forward to expanding our storage offering in Lenox Hill and the Upper East Side and growing a bigger presence in Manhattan.”   

The project is currently in development and is expected to be completed by 2024.
