Benson, AZ – The Gorden Group successfully closed the sale of Freedom Storage & RV, a value-add self-storage and RV facility located in Benson, Arizona. The transaction was completed on February 27, 2026, with Darsh Desai of The Gorden Group, an affiliate of Argus Self Storage Advisors, representing the seller. The property was sold for top dollar following a competitive marketing process that generated multiple offers, underscoring strong investor demand for well-located storage assets in Southern Arizona.
Originally constructed in 1994, Freedom Storage & RV encompasses 39,670 rentable square feet across 238 units on a 4.9-acre site, offering a unique blend of traditional self-storage and RV parking. At the time of sale, the property was 78% physically occupied, presenting immediate operational upside. Strategically positioned just off Interstate 10, the facility benefits from high visibility and consistent demand from Benson residents, Tucson commuters, snowbirds, and travelers visiting nearby destinations such as Tombstone, Bisbee, and Kartchner Caverns.
The property was marketed as a compelling value-add opportunity, with clearly defined upside through lease-up of RV spaces, site improvements, grading enhancements, and the addition of RV markers. The expansive land footprint also provides future expansion potential for climate-controlled units or covered RV and boat storage—features increasingly sought after in Arizona’s growing lifestyle-driven storage market. Benson’s affordability, tourism activity, and steady influx of retirees and seasonal residents further support long-term demand for storage in the area.
Transaction Highlights:
- Top-of-Market Pricing: The asset achieved a premium sale price driven by strong investor competition and clear upside potential.
- Multiple Offers Generated: A highly competitive bidding environment validated both the asset’s positioning and the strength of the Benson submarket.
- Value-Add Opportunity: Lease-up potential, operational improvements, and expansion capacity attracted a diverse pool of buyers.
- Strategic Location: Gateway positioning in Southern Arizona with access to regional demand drivers, including tourism, retirees, and RV travelers.
The successful sale of Freedom Storage & RV highlights continued investor appetite for value-add self-storage and RV assets in secondary and tertiary markets, particularly those benefiting from strong lifestyle trends and limited new supply. By positioning the property around its operational upside, land size, and strategic location, The Gorden Group was able to generate significant interest and deliver a strong outcome for ownership.
