MV Investment is developing a premier Class A climate controlled self storage facility located off a primary commercial corridor (Western Blvd) in Jacksonville, NC.
Facility Overview
The Gateway Drive climate controlled self storage facility will provide 806 units and is scheduled to be completed in May 2027.
The Western Blvd and Gateway Drive South submarket in Jacksonville offers strong fundamentals for new commercial development, particularly in the climate-controlled self storage sector. Western Blvd is one of the city’s primary commercial corridors, providing high visibility and strong traffic counts supported by a dense residential population and proximity to major retail centers. The area also benefits from direct access to key transportation routes, including US-17 and NC-24, making it an important regional connector. Adjacent major employers such as Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and Onslow Memorial Hospital continue to drive steady population growth and consistent demand in the market. Since 2020, Jacksonville’s population has grown by more than 10%, while job growth is projected to exceed 35% over the next decade, significantly outpacing the national average.
