Carl McAfee - The Storage Place Addition in Palestine, TX

Carl McAfee is expanding The Storage Place in Palestine by adding 29 new self-storage units across three separate structures. Located at 4001 W Oak Street in Anderson County, the project adds 8,050 square feet of new space to the existing facility. The filing, registered with TDLR in April 2026, describes the work as additions to an existing building with construction scheduled to begin in July 2026.

The expansion consists of three distinct buildings with varying sizes. The first new structure will measure 1,250 square feet, the second will be 2,000 square feet, and the third will be the largest at 4,800 square feet. This configuration allows for different storage unit sizes to serve various customer needs within the same facility footprint.
