Acquisitions Buy Box

TRES Enterprise is actively deploying private capital into continental US self-storage real estate. Here are the precise guidelines we use to evaluate, underwrite, and close on deals with sellers and brokers.

Asset Type

Self Storage

Dedicated commercial self-storage facilities. Drive-up ambient units, multi-story climate-controlled, or mixed configuration facilities.

Location

Continental US

Nationwide across all 48 continental states. Secondary & tertiary growth markets, suburban corridors, and regional economic hubs.

Facility Size

10K – 80K SF

Sweet spot between 15,000 and 65,000 net rentable square feet. Built 1970 or newer (vintage with good bones or modern conversions).

Max Price

Up to $6.5M

Transaction size up to $6,500,000. Capital is ready to deploy with established lender networks and private balance-sheet equity.

Demographics

Pop > 10k

Population of 10,000+ with steady positive growth over the last 10 years. Median household income > $50,000.

Supply Metric

< 10 SF / Capita

Average square feet of existing storage per capita under 10 within a 3-mile trade radius, indicating undersupplied fundamentals.

Strategy In Action

Value-Add with Expansion Opportunity

We focus on facilities where thoughtful capital investment can unlock value. Whether it is upgrading security technology, digital tenant onboarding, adding climate control, or building additional phases on surplus acreage, we love properties with upside.

Surplus land for Phase II or Phase III expansions
Below-market rents and under-utilized tenant insurance
Manual mom-and-pop operations ready for remote automation
Deferred maintenance or aesthetic improvements
Current Priority
