Former Big Cypress Marketplace now 107,000-square-foot storage facility

A 503-unit storage facility has opened on the site of what once was Big Cypress Marketplace.

North Carolina-based Go Store It Self Storage transformed the site of the former flea market into an 107,194-square facility that, it says in a statement, meets “the demands of the fast-growing market.”

The site was home to the market market which housed 205 vendor spaces, a restaurant, a tiki bar and a theater. According to 2015 story in the Business Observer, an affiliate of Suburban Bank and Trust Co., foreclosed on the property in July 2011 and sold it to an LLC named Heritage Property Holdings for $2.8 million in 2015.
