Douglasville Storage Development

Douglasville, located just 20 miles west of downtown Atlanta, is the county seat of Douglas County and one of the fastest-growing suburban markets in Georgia. With a population exceeding 35,000 and access to a broader county population of over 145,000, Douglasville benefits from strong residential growth, a healthy median household income of approximately $72,000, and steady in-migration fueled by affordability and proximity to Atlanta’s job centers. The area offers direct access to I-20, making it a strategic corridor for both residential and commercial traffic. Douglas County has embraced business-friendly development policies while maintaining strict zoning standards, creating higher barriers to entry for new storage competitors. The local self-storage market is undersupplied relative to national averages, and recent approvals for new development are rare. With high occupancy rates, a growing renter population, and new housing communities underway, Douglasville represents a prime opportunity for self-storage investment in a supply-constrained, high-demand market.Located in the growing market of Douglasville, Georgia, this 3.56-acre parcel offers a fully entitled development opportunity for a self-storage facility. Zoned Light Industrial, the property benefits from the recent approval of a Special Land Use Permit by the Douglasville Mayor and City Council, allowing for the construction of a multi-story climate-controlled self-storage facility. A market and feasibility study confirms strong demand for this asset class in the area, with high occupancy among nearby competitors and above-average rental rates for climate-controlled units. Engineering and geotechnical reports support development, and preliminary construction budgets have been established. The site is strategically positioned with strong visibility along S. Flat Rock Road and proximity to major thoroughfares. With limited competition within a one-mile radius and favorable demographic trends, this project is well-positioned to meet growing consumer and commercial storage demand.
