Developer Jim Allard showed his plans to the Hudson, NH, planning board to build a new self-storage facility on Roosevelt Avenue. He wants to put up a three-story, 90,900-square-foot facility at 23 Roosevelt Avenue.

His plan is to combine two lots and take down a 4,990-square-foot concrete building and parking lot before starting the new building. He estimates construction costs at $3.5 million. The board plans a public hearing about this matter on Aug. 14.

Also in New Hampshire:

  • Developers for Derry Self Storage on Ashleigh Drive are building a third and final structure, which will replace an existing canopy. The new, two-story structure will have 25,000 square feet of space and 182 units. Yvon Cormier Construction Corp., based in Andover, MA, is the developer.
  • Robert Peterson, owner of PPI Enterprises, hopes to build a 93,000-square-foot, three-story self-storage facility at 14 Ledge Road in Windham, NH. But the planning board denied approval for PPI to perform ledge blasting as part of the project, and Peterson is suing the town to appeal that decision. The board has 30 days to respond.

Planned

The Hampshire Cos. and investment partner Circle Squared Alternative Investments bought a former Sam’s Club building at 2649 Erie Boulevard East in Syracuse, NY (pictured above). They will convert the vacant, 135,000-square-foot building into a self-storage facility. Construction begins this summer. CubeSmart will manage the new location, which will have 860 units.

An Extra Space Storage facility with two stories and 100,000 square feet is coming to the former Pathmark site at 1251 Deer Park Avenue in North Babylon on New York’s Long Island. The facility is being developed by Johnson Development Associates from Spartanburg, SC. Plans for the 8-acre site also include adding discount grocer Aldi and Planet Fitness. Demolition of the former Pathmark store begins in August. Source: Newsday 

U-Haul Moving & Storage of North Nashua, NH, soon will be operating at 476 Amherst St. U-Haul purchased the site, which formerly housed a military radar system machine shop, in May. U-Haul is renovating the space into 76,000 square feet on two stories, with more than 750 indoor climate-controlled storage rooms. Source: PR Newswire
