A state-of-the-art retail, moving and self-storage facility is coming to Vernon following the recent U-Haul acquisition of four acres of industrial land at 4401 25th Avenue.

U-Haul Moving & Storage of Vernon is scheduled for completion by fall 2025. U-Haul acquired the property on September 29 th.

Plans call for a modern multi-story self-storage building encompassing more than 100,000 square feet. The store will offer 700-plus indoor self-storage lockers with climate-control options and high-tech security features at affordable price points. U-Haul also plans to build a separate warehouse for portable moving container storage.

“This will be the first U-Haul-owned and operated location in Vernon as we aim to expand our services in this region,” Mason Kolahdouzan, U-Haul Company of British Columbia president said. “Vernon is considered the commercial hub in Northern Okanagan. It’s important that we meet the demand for our products to this growing community.”

The center will feature a retail showroom with boxes and moving supplies, mobility services like moving truck rentals, trailers and towing equipment, and more.
