Joint Venture Kicks off New Rio Grande Valley Self-Storage Facility

A partnership between San Antonio-based Bakke Development Corp. and Atlanta-based Batson-Cook Development Co. has broken ground on an 802-unit self-storage facility in the Rio Grande Valley city of McAllen.

Designed by Alamo Architects and built by Independent Contractors Inc., SharyBak Storage will be a three-story building that will sit on two acres at 4901 E. Expressway 83. Frost Bank provided construction financing for the project, which is slated for a first-quarter 2024 completion.

The development follows the partnership’s start of construction on a 781-unit self-storage facility in Brownsville earlier in 2022. Bakke specializes in mixed use land development – including multifamily, self-storage, and Wal-Mart shadow anchored retail shopping centers. Batson-Cook is from West Point, Georgia and is a general contractor, construction manager, and design-build contractor spans almost every major industry throughout the Southeast, including the education, healthcare, hospitality, office, retail, multi-family residential, industrial, and religious building sectors.
