Operations & Market // The facility maintains 94% occupancy by area, the highest in the portfolio. Maryville has experienced approximately 40% population growth since 2000, while Blount County’s restrictive approval environment limits new self-storage supply, supporting long-term pricing power. Achieved rents currently exceed gross potential, leaving room for continued street-rate growth.
Diversified Income // The facility has a single long-term retail tenant whose business has been booming in alignment with the population growth. Additionally, the single large climate building, with another long-term tenant who is well established in the music business, has recently received a 10% rent increase with zero pushback. The primary retail tenant pays for most of the facility utilities.
Capital Expenditures & Improvements // Recent upgrades include a modernized PDK gate controller with ground-loop exit, mostly LED lighting throughout, and six Hikvision POE cameras routed to an internet-enabled NVR. Additional improvements include a new mini-split HVAC system in the office and a new water heater in 2025. All HVAC systems have been upgraded within the last few years and the facility is fully set up for remote management with no deferred maintenance
