Construction of a 130,200 Square-Foot Self Storage Building is Underway
New Orleans (January 9, 2022) – Urban Properties Real Estate, a local commercial real estate firm, specializing in project management and development, is pleased to announce that it is leading the project management of the new Fremaux Self Storage building at 1818 McKinney Road in Slidell. Construction on the three-story building began last October and is slated for completion by late this summer.
The addition of this property to Urban’s growing project management portfolio demonstrates the company’s ability to manage large-scale new construction projects from the ground up. Michael Bucher, Partner/Managing Director for the firm, and Dick Cyr, CRRP, are leading the project management team for the development of this 808-unit building, which will also offer 80 storage spaces for RVs and boats, next to the TownePlace Suites by Marriott in Slidell.
Ariel Valli of Valli Architectural Group is leading the design and Kent Design Build of Mandeville, led by Jacob Palmisano, will handle construction. Duplantis Design Group (DDG) of Covington is the civil engineer on the project. Once complete, the facility will be managed by Sean Landry at Expert Storage Management of Metairie.
This is Urban’s fourth project for the owner, Lavin National based in Covington. Current projects include property and asset management of a medical office building at 3100 Galleria Drive in Metairie and the Fremaux Shopping Center at 1806 Lindberg Drive in Slidell, along with leasing of the Fremaux medical office building at 1810 Lindberg Drive.
“Being brought in to oversee the construction of this project by the owners is a testament to our client’s trust in us and Urban’s comprehensive project management services,” said Mr. Bucher. “We are delighted to partner with this team of class-A industry professionals to execute the development of this building and contribute to the growth of the Fremaux commercial corridor in Slidell.”
