Ten Years of Vehicle Fortress

How time flies. It's been ten years since we converted Treasure Chest Rental Storage into Vehicle Fortress Condominiums.

Our owners have done well—not only through the appreciation of their investment, but by owning a safe, secure, and convenient garage for the things they value most.

Owners and growing

From RVs to collections

In the early years, about 80% of our owners stored RVs, boats, and even one helicopter. Our oversized doors and 65-foot drive aisles made it an ideal fit.

Today that's below 50%, as we've welcomed more automobile collectors and owners looking for premium personal storage.

Owners from across Florida

Many of our original owners lived within seven miles. Today they come from Marco Island, Sanibel, Fort Myers Beach, Punta Gorda, Lakeland, Fort Lauderdale, and beyond, with more than half now residing in Naples.

Our central location, visibility, and easy access continue to strengthen our owners' investments.

The best value in its class

★★★

Owners are free to personalize their space with epoxy floors, cabinetry, and displays, but early on we made a deliberate choice. Rather than build in permanent stairs, private restrooms, and mezzanines that eat up floor space and drive up cost, we kept those areas shared and put the square footage into the units.

That's why Vehicle Fortress is the most affordable option in Southwest Florida without cutting the amenities that matter. Climate-control options, 50-amp service, gated and camera-monitored security, and spotless shared restrooms, showers, and laundry all come standard.

Ten years in, we still believe it's the best value in the industry.

Thank you for your trust and support over the past decade. We're excited to complete our final phase and welcome the newest members of the Vehicle Fortress family.
