Project Overview

Foxgate Capital is proud to announce the development of Foxgate Boat & RV Storage, a premier vehicle storage facility strategically located in Magnolia, Texas. Set to open in January 2026, this purpose-built development represents a calculated investment in one of the Houston metropolitan area's fastest-growing communities and capitalizes on the increasing demand for specialized recreational vehicle storage solutions.

Located at 31125 Old Hockley Road in Magnolia, TX 77355, Foxgate Boat & RV Storage will provide secure, accessible storage for boats, RVs, ATVs, trailers, and oversized vehicles. The facility addresses a critical need in the Magnolia market, where residential restrictions and limited storage infrastructure create strong demand for professional-grade vehicle storage solutions.

Market Opportunity & Investment Thesis

Magnolia, Texas has emerged as one of the Houston area's premier growth corridors, attracting families and outdoor enthusiasts drawn to the region's quality of life, excellent schools, and proximity to Lake Conroe and Sam Houston National Forest. This demographic profile creates ideal conditions for recreational vehicle ownership—and corresponding demand for storage facilities.

Key Market Drivers:

  • Population Growth: Magnolia's population has experienced double-digit growth over the past decade, with new residential developments continuously expanding the community
  • Recreational Vehicle Ownership: Texas leads the nation in RV ownership, with the Houston metropolitan area representing a significant concentration of boat and RV owners
  • Housing Restrictions: Modern HOA covenants and municipal regulations increasingly prohibit on-property storage of boats, RVs, and trailers, creating demand for off-site storage solutions
  • Lake Conroe Proximity: Magnolia's location near Lake Conroe, one of Texas's premier recreational lakes, drives boat and watercraft ownership among residents
  • Limited Competition: The Magnolia market remains underserved in the specialized vehicle storage category, with existing facilities concentrated in older, less accessible locations

Foxgate Capital identified this convergence of factors as representing an exceptional opportunity to develop a best-in-class storage facility that would capture market share while delivering strong returns on investment.

Development Strategy

Foxgate Boat & RV Storage exemplifies Foxgate Capital's disciplined approach to real estate development: identifying high-growth markets, recognizing unmet demand, and delivering purpose-built solutions that serve community needs while generating sustainable returns.

Strategic Location Selection:The facility's Old Hockley Road location was chosen for its strategic advantages:

  • High visibility and accessibility from major thoroughfares
  • Proximity to Magnolia's residential growth corridors
  • Convenient access to FM 1488 and State Highway 249
  • Less than 20 minutes from Lake Conroe boat launches
  • Position in the path of northwest Houston's continued expansion

Facility Design & Amenities:Foxgate Boat & RV Storage has been designed from the ground up to meet the specific needs of boat and RV owners:

  • Security Infrastructure: Gated access with individualized entry codes, comprehensive camera surveillance throughout the property, and perimeter fencing ensure round-the-clock protection
  • Optimized Layout: Wide drive lanes and spacious storage bays accommodate large recreational vehicles, fifth wheels, and boat trailers with ease
  • 24/7 Access: Flexible access hours allow owners to retrieve or store vehicles on their schedule, not the facility's
  • Modern Management: Secure online portal for payment processing, account management, and reservation updates
  • Purpose-Built Design: Every aspect of the facility reflects deep understanding of recreational vehicle storage requirements
