In 1999, Don purchased his first self-storage facility, and in 2000 completed his first ground-up facility. Both are still owned and operated today. Don began aggressively purchasing operating self-storage facilities, and land to develop self-storage facilities, in Southern California, Texas, and Colorado. Currently, SPMI operates 66 self-storage facilities – 45 in Texas, 20 in California, and 1 in Colorado. The properties are operated as Lock Away Self Storage (Texas and Colorado), StaxUp Self Storage (California) His acquisition strategy is to identify investments with upside potential and to seek a competitive advantage geographically. Acquisitions have included ground-up developments, conversions, properties with expansion potential, value-add from property renovation, and implementing superior management and economies of scale.
