Property Description
SVN is pleased to present a dedicated boat storage development opportunity within The Cove on the Bay, a proven 44.5-acre master-planned waterfront community in Port Clinton, Ohio. The offering consists of approximately 12.33 acres planned specifically for covered boat and recreational vehicle storage, positioned to operate independently from the residential condominium components of the broader development. The site benefits from strong existing and future demand generated by surrounding marinas, dock slips, second-home ownership, and one of the most active recreational boating corridors on Lake Erie. Conceptual planning supports a scalable, phased storage development with up to 40 buildings and a maximum build-out of approximately 80,000 square feet. The design framework allows for flexibility in execution, including individual building sales, leased storage units, or a hybrid ownership model, depending on operator preference and market strategy. The property is located in Danbury Township within Ottawa County’s “Vacationland” region—an area defined by seasonal population surges, high boat ownership, and limited supply of premium covered storage facilities. The boat storage parcel represents a stand-alone development opportunity well-suited for storage operators, marina groups, or investors seeking exposure to a high-demand recreational asset class.
