Access Self Storage has been operating on Beth Nealson Drive, near Eglinton Avenue and Don Mills Road, since 2014. A previous storage company operated on the land since 1980, with a lease set to expire in December 2021.
One year later they were notified by letter that they had to vacate the property as of December 2021. However Alim Yhap, the director of property taxation and corporate real estate services at Access Self Storage, says he does not believe his business is being treated equitably. “Self-storage customers typically do not travel more than 3 to 5 kilometres from their residence or business for self-storage,” they wrote in the court claim.
The 15-stop, 15.6-kilometre Ontario Line is expected to run from Exhibition Place through the downtown core along Queen Street before heading north to the current location of the Ontario Science Centre.
