Opportunity Overview

SV012 SPV, LLC ("SPV")

SPV intends to develop a new self-storage facility on a 1.87-acre site located in Bend, Oregon. The site benefits from an optimal location within the market, with excellent accessibility and highway frontage within the core of one of the city’s most dense and affluent residential pockets. There are approximately 60,000 people within 3 miles of the site with an average household income of $124,000.

Deal Background

SPV is in due diligence and must acquire the land by approximately 5/1/25. All necessary permits have been secured and significant pre-construction work has been done to create a truly plug-and-play, shovel-ready self-storage development opportunity.

Business Plan

Signal Ventures LLC will serve as the Managing Member (“GP”). Equity investors will have the opportunity to purchase shares in the LLC Common Members (“LP”). GP is targeting a raise of $5.0MM and will contribute 5-10% of the equity.

Investment Highlights

Ready-to-build Self Storage Development Site

The site is fully entitled for self-storage, with all necessary permits secured. Most preconstruction work has been completed, allowing a potential buyer to enter a fully shovel-ready project. Detailed information on the completed work, including entitlements, easements, right-of-way, design, architectural plans, and permits are all available.

Exceptional Highway Visibility

Located at 20130 Badger Road, this site enjoys prime visibility along Bend’s major north-south thoroughfare, U.S. Route 97. US-97 is the busiest road in Bend with 24,826 AADT at this location and growing!

Prime Retail-focused Location

The site is surrounded by top national retailers, attracted by its strong accessibility, high traffic volume on US-97, and excellent local residential demographics. Within a 3-mile radius, the population is around 60,000 residents with an affluent average household income of $124,000. Notably, Walmart operates adjacent to the site, and it has become one of the highest-performing Walmart stores in Oregon, drawing over 2.4 million annual visitors.

Low Competition From High-quality Facilities

Within a 3-mile radius of the site, there is approximately 656,046 square feet of competing self-storage space, equating to 11.5 square feet per person. However, there’s a significant gap in climate-controlled storage offerings, with only 35,000 square feet of climate-controlled units available.

Rapid Market Growth In Bend

Bend is one of the fastest-growing cities in the U.S., with a population increase of 91% since 2000. This growth has fostered a high-performing real estate market that continues to thrive thanks to Bend’s remarkable development trajectory.

Strong Self Storage Market Performance

Bend's self-storage market has a history of high occupancy rates and strong rental performance, driven by the area's affluence and rapid population growth. A primarily mom & pop market, two top self-storage REITs have expressed interest in managing the facility, potentially offering a competitive advantage through advanced web presence, brand recognition, best-in-class operations, and revenue management.

Why Invest in Self-Storage?

Market Expansion

The U.S. self-storage market is projected to grow from $44.33 billion in 2024 to $50.01 billion by 2029, with a steady compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.44%.

Unique Market Opportunity

Bend has seen self-storage very minimal development in recent years, while approximately 25 new large apartment complexes have been completed, creating a substantial unmet demand for storage.

Population Density

Increasing population density in urban areas is creating a growing need for self-storage facilities.

Remote Workers

The influx of remote workers relocating to more rural areas for an improved quality of life is driving increased demand for storage options.

Rental Market Growth

With 43.8 million U.S. households renting as of 2023, the expanding renter population is further fueling the need for self-storage services.

Economic Hubs

The concentration of economic opportunities in metropolitan areas continues to support the growth and demand for self-storage solutions.
