The Challenge

Green Key is a fast-moving client with a statewide footprint—and construction needs that vary from basic renovations to ground-up expansions. Across the board, the expectation was clear: JOULE needed to deliver excellent quality of service and product while staying flexible enough to meet evolving timelines.

In Tyler, the team faced a unique expansion challenge. Green Key had acquired extra land adjacent to an existing facility and needed to add a new building. On paper, the project was straightforward. In execution, it came with hidden complications—from terrain to permitting—that had to be addressed without derailing the six-month timeline or blowing the budget.

The Objectives

• Deliver multiple construction projects across Texas with consistency and care
• Support Green Key’s timeline needs across a variety of site types
• Navigate site-specific constraints and unforeseen municipal issues
• Complete the Tyler expansion while protecting the owner’s budget and vision

The Solution

For the Tyler site, JOULE managed every stage of the expansion with hands-on coordination. Grading and drainage proved more difficult than expected due to the landscape, requiring precision to ensure proper runoff. When an incorrectly placed telephone pole threatened the original building layout, we worked directly with the electric company to get it moved and keep the project moving forward.

Additional curveballs came from the city—including last-minute changes to fire extinguisher placement requirements. This triggered an unexpected expense, which we resolved by collaborating with both the city and ownership to revise the layout and rebalance the budget—preserving the integrity of the expansion.

Across every Green Key project, our role has remained the same: deliver consistent results, navigate challenges quickly, and act as a true extension of the ownership team.

The Results

• Multiple projects completed across Texas, including full-site expansions and renovations
• Tyler expansion successfully completed despite weather delays, terrain challenges, and permitting surprises
• Maintained trust and budget alignment through real-time issue resolution
• JOULE continues to serve as a preferred construction partner for Green Key’s active portfolio

The Challenge

When JOULE stepped in, Pro Storage of Temple had untapped potential. One of the three parcels—a large open parking area—had been left unmanaged and had fallen into disrepair. It wasn’t generating revenue and wasn’t drawing the long-term, reliable tenants the property was capable of supporting.

In Jacksonville, the focus was on converting an existing two-story structure into 60,000 square feet of climate-controlled storage. While the scope was clear, the project called for a tailored approach—not just to building standards and timeline, but to connecting with the local community.

The Objectives

• Reposition the Temple property for stronger returns through site improvements and stabilized operations
• Add rentable square footage without inflating cost or construction time
• Complete the Jacksonville build-out ahead of schedule and within budget
• Establish trust and visibility in a close-knit, small-town market

The Solution

In Temple, we began by transforming the unused parcel into 30,000 square feet of new portable units. A JOULE team member was placed on-site, new policies were implemented, and we worked to attract higher-quality occupancy. These visible upgrades helped reset tenant expectations and maximize the property’s long-term potential.

In Jacksonville, JOULE Commercial handled the interior renovation from start to finish—completing it four months ahead of schedule. The project delivered 60,000 square feet of climate-controlled space and later expanded to include gated boat and RV parking. Budget targets were met, and strong relationships were built with local residents and businesses to increase community awareness.

The Results

• Revenue at Pro Storage of Temple doubled since JOULE took over in July 2024
• 30,000 square feet of portable units added to a previously underutilized parcel
• Jacksonville renovation completed four months early and on budget
• Improved brand visibility and tenant stability through direct, local engagement
