Stowvia is not a franchise with a call centre in another state. Three facilities across the East Bay, run by the people who poured the floors.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t

In 2014 we needed 200 square feet for a joinery business and could not find a single facility that would tell us a price online. Every site wanted a form, then a call, then a visit. We built the first Northgate block that year with one rule: publish the plan, publish the rate, and let people decide in their own time.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Rates are published<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Every unit, every site, on the plan. No introductory rate that doubles in month four.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Northgate, Oakland<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
