Insights
This strategic acquisition significantly expands U-Haul's footprint in one of America's fastest-growing markets. The combined 490,000 square feet of storage space across 546 units and 153 RV/boat/vehicle spaces represents a substantial asset addition in Baldwin County, which attracts 6.5 million annual visitors. The properties' locations near Orange Beach and Gulf Shores position them perfectly to capture both residential and tourist storage demand.
The conversion of these former dealer locations to corporate-owned facilities should drive higher profit margins and operational efficiency. The existing customer base and 20-year operating history as U-Haul dealers minimize integration risk and provide immediate cash flow. With Baldwin County's rapid population growth and strong tourism sector, these assets are well-positioned for sustained occupancy rates and potential rental rate growth.
