Steel Warehouse, Office & Storage Building in Elizabeth, Colorado

A Sunward Steel client in Elizabeth, Colorado, needed a custom metal building that combined office, warehouse and agricultural storage space, and Sunward worked in close collaboration with him to create a durable, reliable metal building that checked all these boxes.

Featuring ample room for storage, work and business operations, the metal building has a wide clear span and high ceilings that make it well-suited for housing inventory or large equipment.

Designed for heavy traffic and usage, the multipurpose metal building has sturdy steel framing and paneling and a number of thoughtful customizations and design features that make it ideal for warehouse, office and storage use. Wide door openings make it easy to move goods of all sizes in and out, and multiple large windows let plenty of natural light in, improving the ambiance inside while reducing the owner’s reliance on artificial heat during colder months.

Functional on the inside and eye-catching on the outside, the metal warehouse, office and storage building has Light Stone walls, a Burnished Slate roof and Polar White architectural trim. Spacious, versatile and custom-designed to meet the owner’s varied needs, this multipurpose metal building streamlines agricultural and business operations while serving as a designated, secure place to store inventory and conduct business.
