A self-storage facility? Don't those usually go on cheap land that doesn't have much other potential?
From what I can tell, that parcel is jammed between a busy one way street and an elevated highway. What kind of "potential" do you see for this site?
I happened to walk by that site this past week and I know it is very nasty there right now. But presumably it will be improved. Otherwise that first-floor retail, plaza and "green space" are going to be awfully empty.
Its not dense enough and the area needs more Rail transit..., the area is also pretty hostile to Pedestrians...along Route 28.
As you note, approaching it from outside the development on foot will be tricky, and there is nothing on the other side of the tracks. That should be fixed in some way.
