A storage property at 4400 Highway 98 N is renovating its office and units, adding rooftop solar, and permitting a communications tower.
The storage property at 4400 Highway 98 North, owned by Life Storage LP, has been through a round of upgrades. City records show a finaled renovation of the Extra Space Storage office and unit mix, plus two finaled rooftop solar installations.
More recently, a communications tower permit was issued in May 2026 (an earlier electrical tower permit for the same work was withdrawn). Several of these permits reference "Lakeland Square Mall" in their descriptions, though all are filed on the same Life Storage parcel at this address.
