A 120,000-square-foot self-storage facility is permitted to advance in St. Johns County. The county issued a building permit on July 11 for the $9.26 million project. No rezoning is required.
Beachside Self Storage is a four-story, climate-controlled facility at 1490 County Road 210.
It is off Pappy Road just outside the Fountains at St. Johns, a mixed-use center with about 30 tenants and an apartment community anchored by Ascension St. Vincent’s Health Centre – St. Johns County, about a half-mile east of Interstate 95.
The Fountains is developing its second phase, which includes restaurants, a hotel and an independent living facility. The lot size of Beachside Self Storage is about 4.8 acres.
The closest residential development is the 388-lot subdivision, Sandy Creek, about 2 miles away. Another housing development north of that neighborhood called Tidal 210, will bring 294 townhomes. The land for that project was sold on July 7, but it is not yet permitted.
About 5 miles east in Nocatee, Greenleaf Village has about 500 single-family homes.
Jacksonville-based Ash Properties owns the land through Pappy Trails LLC. Its subsidiary, Ash Construction, is the contractor. Stinard Architecture of Cartersville, Georgia, is the architect. St. Augustine-based Matthews | DCCM is the civil engineer.
An Ash Properties representative said units at the facility are flexible and can be used for commercial or personal use. Site plans show a second building of about 19,000 square feet that is not yet permitted.
