Gainesville Self-Storage

Gainesville Self-Storage is a three-story, 81,000-square-foot facility with approximately 600 units, part of our Self-Storage allocation which makes up 18% of the fund.

Community Development

Gainesville Self-Storage is a planned three-story facility totaling 81,000 square feet and offering approximately 600 storage units. Situated on 2.74 acres in Gainesville, Georgia, the project is designed to serve a growing market with steady demand for both residential and commercial storage.

The development plan calls for a modern, climate-controlled building that provides secure, high-quality storage solutions for the community. Self-storage has proven to be a resilient asset class that performs well across market cycles, driven more by lifestyle trends than broader economic conditions.

As part of our Self-Storage allocation—which represents 18% of the fund—Gainesville Self-Storage will play an important role in generating consistent cash flow while balancing our Build-to-Rent and Short-Term Rental strategies.

Project Updates

At any given time, our portfolio includes projects in different phases—acquisition, development, stabilization, and exit. That’s by design. This staggered structure allows us to generate consistent cash flow while building long-term value, freeing us to sell, hold, or refinance based on what the market demands, not arbitrary dates.

Here’s where our projects stand today.
