CHARLOTTE, NC / July 27, 2015 —- Charlotte-based Morningstar Properties announced today that it has acquired a storage facility in San Antonio, Texas adding 95,000 gross square feet and more than 575 additional units to its portfolio.
Constructed in 2015, the Morningstar Storage branded complex offers a mix of units ranging from large drive up spaces suited for commercial users to 50,000 GSF of heated and cooled selfstorage units within in a 3 story state-of-the-art building. Located at 6826 Alamo Parkway, the facility is ideally situated to serve the burgeoning Alamo Ranch neighborhood in San Antonio; the 6th fastest growing master planned community in the United States. Alamo Ranch’s already strong demand for storage is well poised to increase with over 55,000 residents representing an estimated 18,500 households within a 3-mile radius of the new Morningstar facility, with a projected five-year population growth of over 15% compared to a national growth rate under 4%.
