Investment Overview

The Cedar Hill Self-Storage Development Land represents a rare, fully entitled, shovel-ready opportunity in one of the most supply-constrained pockets of the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex. The 2.21-acre site fronts Belt Line Road—one of the city’s primary commercial corridors—with exposure to 21,860 vehicles per day and immediate access to U.S. 67. At closing, the buyer will receive fully approved construction drawings, site plans, building permits, and all entitlements, allowing construction to begin immediately and eliminating the uncertainty, time, and cost typically associated with pre-development. The approved plans call for a best-in-class, 66,550 rentable-square foot, 598-unit climate-controlled storage facility, complemented by a 6,000 square-foot retail building included within the site plan to generate additional income and drive traffic to the property. This modern, institutional-quality design positions the asset to outperform older competitors in the market. A defining feature of this opportunity is the significant barrier to new supply: the City of Cedar Hill is no longer approving additional self-storage developments, creating a protected competitive environment and ensuring long-term insulation from future entrants. This restricted pipeline stands in contrast to the strong storage demand drivers in the trade area, including rapid residential growth, large-scale nearby master-planned communities, and strong household formation. Within a three-mile radius, the market shows compelling fundamentals with 5.08 square-feet of storage per capita (TractIQ, three-miles), indicating an underserved market with capacity for new high-quality supply. Additionally, average 10x10 climate-controlled rents of $1.93 per square foot (TractIQ, Trailing-12 Months) demonstrate strong rent performance and impressive revenue potential for a new facility. Against the backdrop of accelerating population growth and robust household incomes in Cedar Hill and the broader DFW region, the site is strategically positioned to capture demand, benefit from long-term rent growth, and deliver exceptional value in a constrained-supply submarket.
