Strategic Lakeside Off-Market Acquisition
Direct Equity Source has secured a rare off-market foothold in the highly saturated Cedar Creek Lake submarket, pairing heavy replacement discounts with an affluent, boat-heavy demographic.
Institutional Physical Scale
Spanning approximately 95,000 square feet and roughly 370 doors, the facility combines high-bay enclosed boat & RV garages, traditional drive-up storage, and indoor climate-controlled storage suites.
90%–100% Market Saturation
Our in-depth saturation report confirms that comparable facilities in the surrounding Cedar Creek Lake area operate at virtual full occupancy (90%–100%), signaling robust unmet lake demand.
Market-Leading Modernity
Upon completion, this facility is anticipated to be the newest, cleanest, most secure, and most technologically advanced storage asset in the entire competitive regional radius.
Diversified Four-Pillar Unit Mix
Unlike mono-dimensional storage assets, this property captures premium lake recreational vessels alongside standard personal and commercial tenancy.
Climate-Controlled Storage
Indoor temperature & humidity-managed units designed for delicate furniture, electronics, documents, and high-value personal storage.
Non-Climate Traditional Units
Drive-up accessible storage units engineered with roll-up doors and weather-sealed construction for everyday household & commercial needs.
Fully Enclosed Boat & RV Storage
Massive high-bay enclosed bays accommodating large lake boats, wakeboard craft, pontoon boats, motorhomes, and luxury RVs.
50+ Outdoor Boat/RV Parking Spaces
Expansive paved and designated parking stalls catering directly to Cedar Creek Lake’s vibrant boating and outdoor recreation community.
A Standout Asset in a Saturated Lakeside Market
Based on our market and saturation analysis, storage demand in the surrounding Cedar Creek Lake area has been extremely strong, with comparable facilities showing approximately 90%–100% occupancy.
We believe this property will immediately stand apart within the market. Upon completion, our facility is expected to be the newest, nicest, most secure, and most technologically advanced storage property within the entire scope of facilities included in our saturation report.
The combination of a strong lakeside location, high surrounding occupancy, modern construction, advanced security and technology, and a diversified mix of traditional storage and Boat/RV storage gives us tremendous confidence in the long-term potential of this property.
Expected to Lead the Market On:
- Newest — Brand-new construction vs. aging regional comps.
- Nicest — Institutional-quality finish in a lakeside setting.
- Most Secure — Advanced access control and site security.
- Most Technologically Advanced — Modern systems across the entire campus.
