Who we are
Close to the market.Close to the work.
Baldwin Howell grew from a single storage investment in 1987 into an integrated self-storage owner and developer with more than 1.2 million square feet across storage and retail.
Self-storage is the foundation of our business. The same principals who evaluate a site remain involved through entitlement, design, financing, construction, lease-up, and ownership. That continuity creates faster decisions, clearer accountability, and an institutional understanding of what makes a facility perform.
Over time, we have built a repeatable development platform around many of the same architects, engineers, consultants, contractors, lenders, and operating relationships. The team knows the product, the standards, and the sequence—making permitting, pricing, scheduling, and construction increasingly predictable from one project to the next.
Because we invest family capital, we are not driven by a fund cycle. Our capital structure allows each decision to follow the asset and the market: we can own patiently, refinance, or exit selectively when an opportunity is compelling.
