Two vacant buildings in Saginaw Township, MI, will be turned into self-storage facilities.

In March, Star Saginaw LLC bought the former Value City furniture store building (140,000 square feet) on Bay Road, which has been vacant for about 10 years. Across the street is a CubeSmart site that formerly was a Kmart.

Also, Storage of America has bought another former Kmart building on Gratiot Road, and will create a self-storage business there.
