Given the balanced supply/demand environment in the self-storage industry and expectations of stable economic conditions coupled with the benign state of new development due to increased costs for development and construction in many cities, Watson & Taylor Management, Inc. believes acquisitions of existing self-storage properties represent an attractive investment opportunity in today’s market and such purchase opportunities may not be available in the future. As such, in early 2005, the Company launched an aggressive acquisition strategy by leveraging it’s positive, long-standing reputation in the self-storage industry, both as an acquirer/developer and as an operator, to identify investment opportunities that provide leveraged annualized cash-on-cash equity returns in the 6%-8%+ range and total internal rates of return in the 10%-15%+ range over a seven – ten year investment horizon.
Representing a unique combination of traditional values and contemporary practices, Watson & Taylor works with a national network of investment sale brokers and owners to qualify, negotiate, underwrite, and close self-storage acquisition opportunities in markets throughout the United States. Of particular interest to the Company are those properties that are under-managed or under-performing and/or those properties in need of capital expansion or improvement. Watson & Taylor’s management team has the experience and expertise to quickly evaluate self-storage investments through it’s proven model and enjoys a extremely high closure rate.
As a direct result of it’s 30 year history and solid reputation within the self-storage industry, the Company has developed a strong pipeline of high quality properties to acquire. With it’s current infrastructure, Watson & Taylor has the management capacity to acquire, transition, and manage between $125 million and $200 million in new properties annually. In continuing to build a national footprint, the Company’s goal, within the next five years, is to acquire and manage a portfolio of approximately $750 million to $1billion in self-storage properties across the United States, placing Watson & Taylor among the top 10 operators in the country. Watson & Taylor will employ it’s proven, consistent, and professional management practices to realize operating efficiencies through scale that is simply not achievable by selling property owners (who may only operate one or two facilities).
To meet the Company’s ambitious acquisition goals, Watson & Taylor is seeking equity partners who share it’s vision of building a premier national self-storage company. For more information, please contact Tom Ward, 214-389-3932 or email tward@watsontaylor.com.
