Boutique, Climate‑Controlled Self‑Storage

Local housing turnover, growing small-business activity, and higher incomes drive demand for clean, climate-controlled space. Current supply lags nearby cities, forcing residents to travel farther or join wait-lists. A modern facility close to home removes that hassle and keeps spending in Flower Mound.

The façade blends earth-toned brick, warm metal accents, and back-lit native-wildflower art panels that echo prairie heritage. Window walls break up the mass so the structure feels lighter, and every material and color has been reviewed against Flower Mound’s Commercial Design Standards.

No. The site will include a professionally designed landscape plan that meets or exceeds Town requirements. Expect a mix of native, drought-tolerant plantings, full-width perimeter buffers, and evergreen elements to provide year-round screening. Final species and layout will be coordinated with Town staff and informed by community feedback.

Shielded, dark-sky LED fixtures aim light downward so nothing spills onto adjacent lots. HVAC units sit behind a parapet wall on the roof, keeping sound at the property line roughly equal to a household refrigerator. No exterior PA system will be used.

The Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) model projects ≈ 190 daily trips for a facility of this size, or about the same volume as three nearby homes combined, with roughly 19 trips in the PM peak. In our experience operating similar sites across Texas, we typically observe well under 100 actual trips per day once stabilized. Actual traffic may vary, and the Town’s engineer will verify final counts during review. Deliveries are small box trucks, not tractor-trailers, and most trips occur midday, outside commute peaks.

Independent research (2021 Self-Storage Association & 2021 CBRE Valuation Notes) shows well-designed, well-landscaped storage has neutral to slightly positive impact on surrounding values because it replaces under-utilized land with a quiet, tax-paying use that creates little traffic.

Tenants enter with a smart-phone credential or unique keypad code, and gates auto-close after each vehicle. Security cameras are positioned throughout the property—covering entrances, drive aisles, and key interior corridors—and record 24 hours a day. Disc locks, the industry standard, strongly deter opportunistic theft. A site manager is on-site during business hours and reviews activity logs daily, backed by remote monitoring after hours.

Office hours are 9 a.m.–6 p.m. weekdays and 9:30 a.m.–5:30 p.m. Saturday. Tenant gate hours are 6 a.m.–10 p.m. (subject to final Town approval), preventing late-night activity.

No exterior RV or boat parking is planned. Occasional 15- to 20-foot rental trucks are allowed only during move-in or move-out and must use designated loading bays.

The project adds new ad-valorem tax revenue without generating additional students or demanding intensive city services, strengthening the town’s tax base.

SFRC Holdings, a Texas-based development firm, will own the site, and Extra Space Storage—the largest self-storage operator in the country and the largest third-party management platform—will handle day-to-day management.

Construction is expected to take about nine months, weather permitting. Work hours follow Town ordinances, dust is controlled with water trucks, and contractor parking stays on-site behind locked fencing after hours.

The contractor will follow all Town-required best-management practices for erosion control, dust suppression, and storm-water management. Deliveries and on-site activity will be coordinated with Town guidelines to minimize peak-hour traffic and neighborhood disruption.
