Talonvest Capital Secures $47.7 Million Permanent Financing for Clark Investment Group and The Jenkins Organization's Six-Property Texas Self-Storage Portfolio
Newport Beach, Calif.-based Talonvest Capital has arranged $47,650,000 in permanent financing on behalf of Clark Investment Group and The Jenkins Organization for a six-property self-storage portfolio spanning five high-growth Texas markets, the firm announced Aug. 3, 2026.
The portfolio totals more than 600,000 net rentable square feet and is located across Austin, McKinney, Frisco, Houston, and Bee Cave, Texas — markets characterized by sustained population growth and strong household formation.
Loan Structure and Terms
Talonvest Capital sourced a floating-rate loan from a large bank, structuring the financing to align with the sponsors' long-term ownership strategy. The loan is non-recourse, carries interest-only payments throughout the full loan term, includes five consecutive one-year extension options, and imposes no prepayment penalties or costs.
The structure gives Clark Investment Group and The Jenkins Organization flexibility to respond to shifting interest rate and capital market conditions without being locked into a fixed repayment timeline or exit cost. Fully non-recourse bank executions of this type signal lender confidence in the portfolio's cash flow and sponsorship quality, while interest-only terms across the full loan period reflect lender comfort with current leverage and debt-service coverage.
Bob Baker, President of Clark Investment Group, said: "Talonvest's capital markets expertise was the difference-maker on this deal. They understood what was important to us, knew the right lender immediately, and delivered a structure that fits our objectives."
Portfolio and Market Context
The six-property portfolio is positioned across some of Texas's fastest-growing submarkets. McKinney and Frisco are among the most active growth corridors in the Dallas–Fort Worth metropolitan area, driven by strong household formation. Bee Cave, an affluent suburb west of Austin, has seen significant residential expansion. Austin and Houston round out the portfolio's geographic footprint, providing exposure to two of the state's largest and most economically diverse metro areas.
Self-storage has attracted sustained bank interest in 2026 as lenders prioritize asset classes with recurring revenue, low operating costs, and resilient demand. Institutional-quality portfolios in high-growth Texas markets have been particularly competitive for bank capital, with lenders willing to offer borrower-friendly structures that in prior cycles were more commonly associated with securitized executions. Larger commercial real estate transactions — those exceeding $10 million — accounted for more than half of single-property transaction value in the first quarter of 2026, the first three-quarter stretch above that threshold since 2022, reflecting continued appetite for institutional-scale deals.
Talonvest Capital's Role and Recent Activity
Talonvest Capital is a commercial real estate mortgage brokerage firm with a focus on self-storage and specialty asset classes, arranging bank, life company, and securitized loans for institutional and private sponsors. The team members responsible for this financing included Thomas Sherlock, Kim Bishop, Carson Kurland, and Lauren Maehler.
The closing contributes to more than $256 million in financings that Talonvest Capital has completed over the prior 30 days, reflecting active lender appetite for self-storage and related defensive asset classes as sponsors seek to optimize capital structures in an uncertain rate environment.
Sponsor Background
The Jenkins Organization is a Houston-based self-storage owner and operator with a substantial Texas presence. Clark Investment Group, headquartered in Wichita, Kansas, is a self-storage capital provider and equity partner with a history of joint ventures in the sector. The pairing reflects a common structure in today's storage market: a regional operating platform with local market knowledge alongside an institutional capital partner seeking durable, scalable cash flows.
Together, the two sponsors own a portfolio that Talonvest Capital described as institutional quality and well-positioned to benefit from favorable demographic trends and sustained demand for self-storage across its Texas markets.
