Albacado Limited Partnership sold a 2.96-acre lot on the corner of Beechwood Dr. and RT.125 in North Andover, Massachusetts to a private equity joint venture. The joint venture has received approvals to develop a state-of-the-art 90,000 square-foot self storage facility. This site is directly across the street from the redevelopment of a 2.5 million square foot Amazon distribution center.
This self storage facility will serve the Andover, North Andover and Haverhill communities. North Andover and Andover have unmet demand for a facility of this type. Haverhill, MA downtown has gone through a major regentrification effort with market rate apartments and condominiums. The downtown is dotted with boutique shops and restaurants that appeal to the millennial generation that live there. Haverhill supplies housing costs for these workers that are significantly less that what they would pay in the Boston proper market. With the development of a new transportation center in Haverhill, residents have several choices, including rail to get to the downtown Boston area without having that extra parking expense.
The self storage facility will be the first in this market to offer touch free shopping and renting for a self storage unit. Customers will also be able to access the security gate system and access to the building from their smart phone completely touch free.
