Executive Summary

Austin McLeod with Matthews™ has been exclusively hired to market for sale a stabilized, three-property self-storage portfolio totaling ±112,807 net rentable square feet in Commerce, Georgia. The portfolio gives an investor a dominant market position, as ownership controls approximately 78% of all rentable self-storage square footage within a 3-mile radius currently. You will also own the only climate-controlled facility within 3 miles, and one of just two climate locations in Commerce. In-place rates currently trail the closest competitor, so a new owner has substantial room to push rental rates, particularly on the climate-controlled units.

There are also zero REIT-owned / operated facilities within 10 miles of the properties, and no facilities are planned nor under construction within a 5-mile radius. The portfolio sits on the US 441 corridor, with direct access to Athens and the University of Georgia approximately 20 to 25 miles south, and to downtown Atlanta approximately 70 miles southwest via I-85. Three miles north, the Tanger Outlets Commerce anchors the retail node at I-85 Exit 149 and draws more than 2 million visitors annually.

Commerce is also in the middle of a growth cycle anchored by large-scale industrial and healthcare investment. SK Battery America's $2.6 billion campus employs approximately 1,600 and anchors the region's EV and battery manufacturing base. A $185 million, ±550,000-square-foot manufacturing plant is set to break ground in Jackson County in November 2026 and will bring 1,451 full-time jobs. Nearby, Toyota Industries' Pendergrass campus spans more than 1.5 million square feet with roughly 1,300 associates, and a $69 million expansion now underway will add another 250 jobs. Healthcare investment is following suit. Piedmont Commerce MOB, a 31,481-square-foot outpatient facility, has broken ground at Homer Rd and Hwy 441 as Phase I of a master-planned medical campus, with delivery expected in early 2027. NGMC Braselton also completed a $565 million expansion that opened a new 180,000-square-foot emergency room in July 2026 and added 150 beds.

The City of Commerce has grown 28.63% since the 2020 census. Jackson County was the fastest-growing micropolitan area in the United States between 2024 and 2025, growing 5.3% and ranking 4th among all U.S. counties. Commerce's average home value of $335,664 also makes it the affordable entry point in a county where the median sale price has reached approximately $440,000, which should keep drawing new households into the trade area.

This opportunity is being offered in a market bid format. We have set the Call for Offers date for Wednesday, October 28th, 2026. Please contact Austin McLeod to discuss pricing guidance and gain access to the deal room.
