The Lidl right next to the Planet Fitness is the newest building in the Reisterstown Shopping Center, but the building where the Mars grocery store used to be, then an abandoned building for many years, recently got completely demolished. On that land, new construction has started, but what are they building there?
I did some digging, and found the company which owns the Reisterstown Shopping Center.
"Greenberg Gibbons" is the company which owns the plaza, and they posted a plan on their website for the Reisterstown Shopping Plaza.
The land which the Mars grocery store used to be on, and was later demolished, is confirmed to be a place which is going to be selling self storage units.
The building is still in the early stages of being built, so we'll likely have to wait a while before we see the actual self storage units open for the public.
Here is the map plan via the ggcommercial.com website:

It seems that the upcoming self storage units are very controversial, and many believe that with the new storage units a rise of crime in the area will come, while others believe that a self storage unit is just unneeded.
