Construction is well under way Wednesday morning at the $5 million, 100,000-square-foot, temperature- and humidity-controlled storage building at 179 Turner St. in Auburn. The facility, with 750 storage units, is being developed by Diamond Point Development and The Ardent Companies. Developer Jason Sommer said their analysis showed the Lewiston-Auburn market is “underserved” when it comes to climate-controlled, self-serve storage facilities. The company has developed similar properties in Georgia, Connecticut, New York, Maryland, Massachusetts and one in South Portland. The Auburn one is scheduled to open in March 2025.

We believe it’s important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It’s a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others. Read more...
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
For those stories that we do enable discussion, our system may hold up comments pending the approval of a moderator for several reasons, including possible violation of our guidelines. As the Maine Trust’s digital team reviews these comments, we ask for patience.
Comments are managed by our staff during regular business hours Monday through Friday and limited hours on Saturday and Sunday. Comments held for moderation outside of those hours may take longer to approve.
