In the days leading up to Memorial Day, we want to acknowledge the Americans who made the ultimate sacrifice so we could enjoy the freedoms we often take for granted.

Their courage, their service, and their lives given in defense of our nation will never be forgotten.

This weekend, as we gather with family and friends, let’s pause to remember the fallen, honor their legacy, and say a heartfelt “thank you” to the Gold Star families who carry their memory every single day.

Exciting News from Boardwalk Development Group!
Boardwalk Development Group is proud to announce the launch of Boardwalk Storage Fund V!
We’re acquiring a premier 7-property, cash-flowing portfolio in Auburn, AL (formerly Sun Self Storage) — 496,779 sq ft of climate-controlled and non-climate-controlled facilities, 3,726 units, and nearly 34% market share in one of the country’s fastest-growing markets. Total acquisition: $56 million.
This new fund continues our proven track record of delivering strong risk-adjusted returns through hands-on management in high-growth Southeast markets (GA, TN, SC, NC, AL).
Since 2016, BDG has closed on $500M+ in projects across 43 properties, with prior funds delivering an average gross IRR of 39% and 3x equity multiple.
“Launching our fifth and largest fund to date reflects the confidence our investors have in our team and platform,” said Doug Steverson, Chief Operating Officer. “Fund V builds on that momentum and offers the opportunity to capitalize on continued demand for quality storage in booming markets.”

Nothing says “team meeting” like axes and bullseyes! 🪓

Our Boardwalk Storage crew crushed it this Saturday at American Axes — building bonds, sharpening skills, and reminding everyone why we’re one of the most competitive teams in self-storage.

Fierce on the lanes. Fiercer in the industry.

Why we continue to believe self-storage is one of the most resilient asset classes in commercial real estate:

Big congratulations to our incredible Tennessee Property Manager, Amy Hooks!

She's been named Tennessee Self Storage Association Manager of the Year — and honestly, no one deserves it more!

In just her first year managing Boardwalk Storage in LaFollette, TN, Amy boosted occupancy from 75% to 89%. Since then she has driven 27% year-over-year revenue growth and smashed her stretch revenue target by an amazing 9%

Even in a tough economy, she's holding strong at ~90% occupancy across 219 units and parking spaces while keeping delinquencies ultra-low at just 5.9%.

Amy's leadership, dedication, and results are what make our team shine. We're beyond proud! Shoutout to Amy — thank you for raising the bar every single day!

The Self-Storage Boom Continues in 2026: Stability, Growth, and Opportunity Ahead! 🚀

As we kick off 2026, the self-storage industry is entering a phase of measured resilience and optimism. After the post-COVID surge and a stabilizing 2025, experts forecast steady growth with below-average new unit deliveries—allowing demand to catch up with supply. Two-thirds of operators are bullish on business prospects, though challenges like economic headwinds, rising competition, and consumer financial strains (think delinquencies) keep things grounded. Overall, the U.S. market is projected to expand at a 5.95% CAGR, hitting over $105B by 2034, driven by urbanization, e-commerce, and mobility trends.

At Boardwalk Development Group (BDG), we're right at the heart of this momentum! As one of the top self-storage and Boat & RV operators in the US—ranked #45 on the Inside Self-Storage 2025 Top Operators List—we're laser-focused on the Southeast (GA, TN, SC, NC, KY, AL). With over 95 years of combined real estate expertise, we've closed $500M+ in projects since 2016, delivering ~2M sq ft of premium space through ground-up developments, value-add acquisitions, and secondary/tertiary market expansions.

If you're an investor eyeing high-quality opportunities, BDG is building wealth and value in this thriving sector. Let's connect—Check out our latest projects on our website: https://t.co/puv2NCGyil

The Southeast is leading the charge in self-storage demand! 🚀
According to the National Self-Storage Association's 2023 Demand Study, the South (including states like Florida, Georgia, Texas, Alabama, and more) accounts for a commanding 43% of self-storage users in 2022 — up from 40% in earlier years and clearly outpacing other regions.
Compare that to:
West: ~24-27%
Midwest: ~18-20%
Northeast: ~14-15%
The data shows consistent strength in the Southeast over nearly two decades, highlighting why this region remains a hotspot for storage needs — whether from population growth, moves, or business demands.

At Boardwalk Development Group, we're proud to be developing and operating in the heart of this booming market across the Southeast. The numbers don't lie: demand here is strongest! 📈
