Transport planning advice instrumental to new era of high-tech self-storage

Surrey-based property development and investment company, Levanter Developments, has launched a self-storage brand, T-Rex Storage, with transport planning support from Motion.  The new business has rapidly expanded, with four operational sites across Surrey and Sussex serving commercial, trade and domestic customers.

The facilities, each branded with a supersized bright-green Tyrannosaurus Rex, represent Levanter’s strategic move into the high-tech self-storage market, offering modern facilities including CCTV and 24/7 panel access. The business growth has, in part, been aided by Motion, who provided vital transport planning advice throughout the project’s development.

Planning support

Paul Weston, Director at Levanter Developments, comments, “As longstanding clients, we’ve benefitted from a best-in-class service from a known and trustworthy team.  Motion’s attention to detail and highly responsive approach have been instrumental in bringing the T-Rex vision to life.”  He adds, “Phil Bell has been so supportive of all Levanter’s endeavours – T-Rex included.” 

The most recent addition to the T-Rex Storage portfolio is located in Cranleigh, with contracts now exchanged for a new site in Dorking.  The company is actively seeking further opportunities for growth.  Fellow Levanter Director, Jack Sutcliffe, explains, “We’ll consider any site over 0.5 acres – green, brown, or urban.”
