Property Overview & Expansion Potential
• Zoning & Land: The design occupies 2.717 ha (6.7 acres) of premium land near Moncton, NB. It is zoned commercial-industrial (C2).
• Site Layout: The layout has been strategically designed for land efficiency, ensuring proper separation between and around all buildings. Features a generous entrance of 20m (65.6ft) wide x 48.28m (158ft) long as well as wide drive aisles. Pickup trucks towing trailers, U-Hauls, and tri-axle trailers can easily navigate and turn in the yard.
• Current Built Phase: A 20x50 office building (1,000 sqft) and 3 - 30x100 and 1 - 30x160 storage buildings totaling 13,800 rentable sqft of 18 have been built (114 units total, plus 12+ outside spots for RV, boat, trailer, and vehicle parking).
• Approved Expansion: Comes with a city approved plan for 14 additional buildings giving an additional 61,800 rentable sqft drive-up expansion. This allows for an 18 building total facility reaching 75,600 rentable sqft and over 600 units upon completion. The site is ready for phased construction as needs increase, all necessary development work on this location has been completed, leaving only the new buildings to construct and rent out.
Location & Market Indicators
• Strategic Position: Situated in a rapidly expanding area just 5km from the Moncton city limit. Irishtown Rd is a well-traveled main road that connects Notre Dame, St Antoine, and Buctouche, leading directly into Moncton and linking Elmwood Drive at the city limit to the south.
• Proximity to Competition: This location is just 11km north from Costco, the TransCanada Highway, and our closest competition.
• Surrounding Growth: Numerous farmland and woodland areas nearby are being transformed into subdivisions within a 10km radius. Recently, 370 acres were sold in May 2026 less than 1km away, and major subdivision expansions across the street are also currently underway.
• Market Demand: The self-storage market in Greater Moncton stands at an estimated 2 to 3 square feet per capita, closely mirroring Canada’s national average of around 3.2 sq ft per capita. Historically, Canadian markets require about 3 to 4 square feet of storage per capita to reach equilibrium. Given Moncton's booming population, which has surpassed 107,000 residents, real estate indicators demonstrate that the current pipeline will be steadily absorbed by the influx of apartment renters and downsizing homeowners.
There has been considerable interest in this self storage facility over the years, and many are seeking information. Some details are not available through your Google Maps searches. I hope this helps explain what this facility has to offer.
Value-Add Upside Potential from Day One
The value-added opportunities for this self storage facility will multiply quickly once modern operations are implemented. I prefer the operations of the past, but the market is shifting.
• Pricing & Fees: The unit price is plus tax, with no additional charges or fees. New owners can introduce insurance, administration fees, credit card fees, gate activation fees, and more.
• Billing Cycle Optimization: By charging monthly instead of every 28 days, owners can easily adjust payments from 12 to 13 per year, resulting in an 8.3% instant increase. These changes can escalate your year-end bottom line without any extra effort beyond modifying the monthly or 28-day charges.
• Payments & Operations: We accept 99% credit/debit cards, a few etransfers, and no cash. There’s potential to add automation, dynamic pricing, and various incentives, along with digital marketing strategies you may already have access to. Currently, there are no long term contracts for services.
• Maintenance: We handle most of the maintenance and all snow removal tasks.
