SCHENECTADY, N.Y. — A company with local roots is proposing a 700-unit, self-storage facility at Erie Boulevard and Seneca Street.

Diamond Point Development proposes to replace the Red-Kap Sales office and warehouse at 1806 Erie Blvd. with the three-story building. It is also purchasing the vacant lot adjacent to Red-Kap but has no immediate plans for construction there.
