The new 838-unit store will be located on a major east/west thoroughfare with excellent visibility, in a strong demographic market close to residential areas and major retailers.

“We look forward to breaking ground on this new store,” said Blair Nagel, CEO of Metro Storage LLC. “The facility will be a valuable addition in the Randolph area, providing the latest in self-storage amenities and security in a convenient location to meet the various needs of residents and businesses.”
Construction is scheduled to commence later this year with expected completion in the third quarter of 2019.
