15415 Pine Ridge Rd - Storage Quarters 19,720 SF Specialty Building Offered at $3,140,000 in Fort Myers, FL 33908

Rare opportunity to acquire Storage Quarters, a stabilized, highly automated 176-unit self-storage facility on an irreplaceable signalized hard corner at Gladiolus Drive (SR 865) and Pine Ridge Road in fast-growing south Fort Myers. Three single-story, drive-up, concrete-block buildings (approx. 19,720 SF) sit on 1.24 acres, complemented by outdoor RV/vehicle parking and mailbox rentals. Customers pull directly to their unit, with no elevators or long interior hallways, a convenience that resonates with the area's boaters, contractors, retirees, and seasonal residents.
Location is the headline. Gladiolus Drive is a six-lane arterial carrying roughly 21,300 vehicles per day at the frontage and about 44,600 per day, delivering exceptional visibility and signage exposure. Lee County is among the nation's fastest-growing markets, up roughly 15% since 2020 to about 876,000 residents and projected near 1,000,000 by 2045, an expanding and mobile customer base that fuels storage demand. Southwest Florida's boating and RV lifestyle and a seasonal "snowbird" influx create steady, recurring demand for drive-up and vehicle/RV storage.
The business runs almost entirely online through the Cubby AI platform: tenants reserve, lease, pay, and manage autopay from any device, while machine-learning revenue management moves customers in at promotional rates and steps them up automatically. The result is in-place rents that exceed street rates and about 109% economic occupancy. A part-time on-site manager is compensated with an apartment, so there is NO cash management salary, keeping the operation lean and largely absentee-friendly. Required SafeLease tenant protection adds recurring ancillary income.
Upside is built in. Standard storage units run about 84% occupied, with lease-up runway concentrated in small lockers and RV parking. Continued AI-driven rate increases and a vertical (stilt) expansion concept, adding a 2nd/3rd story and climate-controlled product the local market offers but Storage Quarters does not, provide multiple paths to grow NOI. Split CG/IL zoning supports storage and expansion. The corner lies in Flood Zone AE yet took no flooding during Hurricanes Ian, Milton, or Helene.
Pride of ownership shows: about $80,000 of recent capital improvements, including new roofs (2018), exterior paint (2024), asphalt sealcoat (2025), and a new high-efficiency A/C (2026), mean low deferred maintenance for a new owner. Offered at $3,140,000, a 5.0% in-place cap with pro forma yields growing toward roughly 7%, a rare turnkey, cash-flowing asset with a clear growth runway on one of Fort Myers' best corners.
