VanWest Partners Completes Major Expansion of Jacksonville Self Storage Facility to Meet Growing Demand

Major Expansion Completed at Jacksonville Self Storage

VanWest Partners has officially announced the completion of a substantial expansion at its self-storage facility situated in Jacksonville, Florida. This facility, located at 6664 Firestone Road, has experienced significant enhancements to meet the escalating demand for storage solutions in the rapidly growing southern Jacksonville area.

Originally acquired in May 2024, the ClearHome Self Storage on Firestone Road represented VanWest’s ninth self-storage acquisition in Florida over the past five years. The expansion adds more than 28,000 square feet of rentable space and introduces 144 new drive-up units, which were specifically designed to cater to the rising consumer demand for larger unit sizes in the market.

Since the property's original construction in 2021, the facility had been organized to offer a mix of climate-controlled and non-climate-controlled units across a total of 39,570 net rentable square feet. Jacob Vanderslice, Principal at VanWest Partners, stated, "Our construction management team did a fantastic job delivering the new buildings on time and on budget after breaking ground last fall. We designed the expansion with larger average unit sizes, which are in particularly high demand in the market. With attractive introductory pricing and strong leasing momentum already underway, we are excited to offer these new storage options to our Jacksonville customer base."

The strategic positioning of the Jacksonville facility allows it to serve one of Florida's fastest-growing metropolitan areas. Here, the combination of robust population growth, job creation, and a significant increase in household formations has continuously fueled the demand for self-storage facilities. The Firestone Road property is ideally placed to accommodate both residential and commercial customers seeking secure and conveniently accessible storage solutions.

This expansion not only highlights VanWest Partners’ commitment to meeting consumer needs but also aligns with the company's broader strategy. By prioritizing value-add acquisitions, VanWest aims to improve operational efficiencies and enhance consumer experiences, paving the way for long-term growth and value creation for their investors.

As VanWest Partners continues its mission to expand the ClearHome Self Storage platform, they are excited about this development and its potential to elevate customer satisfaction. The newly expanded facility promises innovative storage solutions tailored to the needs of its clientele.
