Prime Self-Storage Development Opportunity in Lake County, FL

Seize this rare chance to acquire a fully prepared, development-ready parcel in Lake County, Florida, zoned and approved for a state-of-the-art self-storage facility. Comprising four parcels, this property is primed for immediate construction, offering a fast-tracked timeline for investors and developers looking to capitalize on Central Florida’s booming self-storage market. With versatile zoning allowing for multiple uses, this is a unique opportunity in a high-growth region.
Property Highlights

Development-Ready for Self-Storage: Rezoned to CP (Planned Commercial), with self-storage approved by right, eliminating zoning hurdles. Includes a comprehensive concept plan for a 101, 380 sq ft facility (86, 175 sq ft net rentable, 95. 24 climate-controlled), fully permitted and ready for construction. By-Right, Permit-Ready Opportunity: Self-storage is approved by right under the current CP zoning, allowing a qualified buyer to move directly to permitting and construction without rezoning or entitlement risk—ideal for developers seeking speed to market.

Growth Catalyst Nearby: A major new residential subdivision, Orange Bend, is planned within distance of the property, delivering approximately 995 new residential units across 565+ acres. This significant pipeline of rooftops will drive sustained demand for self-storage and commercial services in the immediate trade area.

Completed Due Diligence: Boundary and topographic surveys completed, along with environmental studies, ensuring no delays in development.



Strong Financial Projections: Proforma included, projecting a Net Operating Income (NOI) of $994, 195. Cap rate valuations: $16. 57M (6. 0 ), $18. 08M (5. 5 ), or $19. 88M (5. 0 ). Gross potential income of $1. 58M with a 65. 73 cost-to-value ratio at 5. 5 cap.



Strategic Location: Situated in Lake County, a high-growth area with 4. 7 annual population growth, outpacing the national average. Proximity to Orlando, I-75, and the Florida Turnpike ensures excellent accessibility and visibility. Low storage inventory (est. 5. 5 sq ft vs. 7–8 sq ft nationally) underscores strong market demand.



Versatile Zoning: CP zoning supports self-storage and a variety of other commercial uses, offering flexibility for future development or alternative projects.



Business-Friendly Environment: Lake County’s pro-business policies and high-traffic corridors make this an ideal location for a successful self-storage operation.
