This offering presents an incredibly rare opportunity to acquire three (3) institutional quality self-storage projects in the highly sought-after growing Lake Charles, LA market. The Portfolio totals 173,675 rentable square feet of self-storage and over 1,468 units. Each asset was developed with institutional-level quality and amenities, a very rare combination in a Southwest Louisiana self-storage offering. Each site has prominent, high-visibility locations with excellent access, high average incomes, and projected population growth.
The Portfolio, currently self-managed by Ownership, opened between 2004 and 2013 and is 76% physically occupied. There is significant operational upside embedded in the Portfolio, enabling new investors to increase occupancy and pass through rate increases on various tenant segmentations. This, combined with the fact that each of the assets is located within a single market, offers an entirely unmatched opportunity for an operator to acquire three institutional quality assets with value-add upside located within a short drive, allowing for efficient portfolio management and operating synergies (e.g., on-site / payroll costs).
