Updated 2/17/2021 6:26 PM A new self-storage facility will be incorporated into the revitalization of a rundown Naperville shopping center after the project gained support from council members and previously concerned neighbors. The Shorewood Development Group plans to invest roughly $50 million into the Market Meadows Shopping Center at Naper Boulevard and 75th Street in hopes of retaining key tenants, filling vacant storefronts and updating aging infrastructure, according to development plans.
To support the project and generate foot traffic, developers proposed transforming an outdated retail courtyard area into a self-storage business, which would be operated by Northfield-based The Lock Up. The facility would have a 35-foot-wide frontage but would otherwise be hidden behind other retailers and accessed from the back of the shopping center, representatives said.
