Addition Draws Artisan Close to 2 Million SF Under Management<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Artisan Properties, a Georgia-based self-storage management company, announced today that it has assumed third-party management of The Mini Storage Center portfolio, a collection of 10 self-storage facilities across North and South Carolina. The transition, effective April 1, 2026, brings Artisan Properties’ total portfolio to more than 1.9 million net rentable square feet under management.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Mini Storage Center<\/u> portfolio features properties in key Carolina markets, including Charlotte, NC, and Spartanburg and Myrtle Beach, SC. The portfolio comprises approximately 4,600 units across 630,000 net rentable square feet. The properties will continue to operate under The Mini Storage Center brand.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The management transition follows a multi-year consulting relationship between Artisan Properties and The Mini Storage Center’s previous management company, Waters Incorporated, during which Artisan worked closely with the portfolio to modernize operations and implement technology-driven management systems.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBuilding on an already outstanding relationship, we\u2019re excited to expand our work within and impact on The Mini Storage Center portfolio,\u201d said Will Potts, Chief Operating Officer at Artisan Properties. \u201cWe aim to constantly raise the bar for the operator and customer experience through enhanced systems, innovative technology, and people-centric service \u2013 and that shared focus makes this a seamless transition.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cArtisan Properties has already had a tremendous impact on our business, so this is a natural progression of an already strong relationship,\u201d said Marty Waters, President of Waters Incorporated. Waters will continue his involvement in asset management while Artisan oversees the day-to-day management of the properties.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Artisan Properties manages self storage assets under both The Mini Storage Center and Storage Xxtra brands, with facilities across Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina. Artisan has a significant office presence in Charlotte, allowing for centralized, local oversight of its rapidly growing Carolinas portfolio, and serving as a strong hub for further Southeast growth. The company combines family-owned operational values with institutional-grade technology systems, providing owners an alternative to large national management platforms.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe systems, resources, and insight that Artisan Properties can offer mean that companies like ours can continue to thrive and grow without necessarily needing to convert to REIT brands and operators,\u201d said Waters. \u201cWe\u2019re glad to have a partner in Artisan who can help lead us into the future of the storage industry.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
