Why Houston is a Prime Market for Self-Storage Investments  

Houston has long been recognized as one of the strongest real estate markets in the country. With over 190,000 new residents moving in each year, it consistently ranks among the top U.S. metros for population growth. Within a three-mile radius of our portfolio locations, the average population stands at nearly 97,000 residents and is growing at 3.05% annually, four times the national average. Coupled with average household incomes exceeding $135,000, these fundamentals create an ideal environment for long-term self-storage demand. 

For investors, these numbers aren’t just statistics. They represent a steady pipeline of renters, families relocating, individuals downsizing, and businesses needing extra space. It’s this reliable demand that makes self-storage investments in Houston so compelling.  

Irreplaceable Locations, Durable Value  

All seven facilities are strategically placed in established, housing-surrounded suburbs where land is scarce and development costs are high. These barriers to entry protect our assets from oversupply, ensuring that Spartan’s properties hold their value well into the future. In other words, these aren’t just storage units tucked away in overlooked corners; they are irreplaceable real estate assets embedded in thriving communities. 

Institutional-Grade Assets Built to Perform  

The Houston Storage Portfolio represents 463,185 square feet of premium storage space, designed with efficiency and customer experience in mind. With climate-controlled units, modern amenities, and optimized layouts, these facilities stand at the top tier of the industry. Their construction quality minimizes unexpected costs, while the unit mix is tailored to match local demand patterns, reducing vacancy risk. For investors, this means fewer surprises and more confidence in consistent performance.  

Boosting Operations with REIT Management  

One of the most exciting aspects of this acquisition is the transition to professional REIT management. In today’s marketplace, REIT-operated storage facilities regularly outperform individually managed properties, often delivering 10% stronger returns. By partnering with seasoned REIT managers, Spartan ensures that these Houston assets will benefit from advanced revenue management, streamlined operations, and best-in-class marketing. For our investors, this translates into stronger, more reliable cash flow over time.  

The Investor Advantage 

With the Houston Storage Portfolio, Spartan has already secured fixed-rate financing, protecting investor returns from rate volatility. Our team has also begun executing the business plan, including online promotions and leasing strategies designed to accelerate growth from day one. For those who participate by September 1, 2025, the first distribution is scheduled for December 1, 2025, a clear signal of how quickly this portfolio is positioned to generate value.

Beyond the fundamentals, investors also gain from the tax advantages of real estate investing, including depreciation benefits and other incentives that make self-storage one of the most tax-efficient passive investment options available.  

Looking Ahead  

Self-storage has always been a resilient sector, but in Houston, it’s particularly powerful. Rapid population growth, irreplaceable locations, and institutional-quality assets combine to create a uniquely strong environment for long-term investing. Add the operational uplift from REIT management, and the Houston Storage Portfolio is positioned to deliver durable, attractive returns for years to come.
