Diamond Point Development LLC and The Ardent Cos. have opened a new 100% solar powered self-storage facility at 1845 Brookfield Court in Frederick, MD.

It has 74,000 RSF and 700 units, all humidity-controlled. The facility is managed by Life Storage.
“Life Storage in Frederick is our first solar powered facility” said Aaron Sommer, Diamond
Point Development principal. “We are using this property as a model for all future projects.”
