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.
