Looking to build storage unit

[Myriam Joseph]

Im a new real estate investor working on securing my first property in the next 90 days. After that is settled, I wanted to look into building a storage unit. More specifically in area where there are development plans to build a new apartment complex. My question is, should the apartment complex being built be a factor I look for when building storage? Could building elsewhere like in or close to a city be just as ideal versus close to this new development ?
