Apartments Draw Self-Storage Project to Willows Road

Lexington Park will soon have nearly 1,000 contemporary apartments along Willows Road.

The numbers prompted developer Keith A. Allston to re-invigorate a  three-year-old approval for Willows Road Business Park, under construction today as a self-storage campus.

Mr. Allston expects the storage facility to be open for business by the end of 2012.

In 2009, when county officials approved the commercial use along Willows Road, 28 percent of the 30,642 homes in St. Mary’s County were apartments, according to city-data.com, translating into 8,642 renters.

Earlier this year Abberly Crest, the 490-apartment complex next to the future self-storage campus, received approval to build 150 more apartments and a clubhouse. The build-out will bring to nearly 1,000 the apartment units in the complexes on Willows Road.
