Gary Wojtaszek turned Dallas-based CyrusOne public and grew it into a leading global data center firm. It recently sold for $15 billion. Now—instead of storing computers and data—he aims to store America's RVs, boats, and other "toys" with his new startup, RecNation. With funding secured from Centerbridge Partners, he aims to grow his company by 75 locations a year—and build another multi-billion-dollar business.
The leading owner, operator, and developer of RV and marine storage facilities has recently expanded with 30 locations across Texas and Florida, while making key leadership hires. Aided by the $300M facility led by Truist Securities and Citizens Bank, it plans to expand to an additional 150 locations over the next two years.
"Now we are rolling," the company's founder, former CyrusOne CEO Gary Wojtaszek, told Dallas Innovates.
