Bob Lloyd

Advisory Board

Bob Lloyd began his career in the real estate appraisal field after graduating with a BBA degree from the University of Mississippi in 1983. Sixteen years of experience evaluating and reporting on a diverse range of commercial, residential, and industrial properties built a strong foundation for his entrepreneurial pursuits. At the age of twenty-seven, he founded his own appraisal firm, leveraging his early experience in real estate appraisal and brokerage. Over the past forty years, Lloyd has demonstrated exceptional business and organizational skills, which have enabled him to establish more than fifty real estate corporations under his leadership.

In 1994, Bob’s passion for the self-storage industry began with the construction of the first climate-controlled facility in the State of Mississippi. By 1997, he had rebranded the stores under the StorageMax Trademark and completed the state’s first multi-level Climate-Controlled Self-Storage and Data Management (RecordMax) facility. These innovative new developments earned Lloyd recognition as one of The Top 40 Under 40 by the MS Business Journal. RecordMax represented the culmination of several years of travel, study, and working in data management centers nationwide to create a unique, one-stop-shop for records storage, document imaging, data conversion, and digital storage solutions. Under his leadership, RecordMax expanded to five metropolitan locations and operated for 15 successful years before he decided to sell the company in 2012. The StorageMax portfolio continues to grow, now encompassing 33 locations, 2,000,000 square feet, and over 15,000 storage units. Lloyd is President of Storage Park Development, which oversees the development, day-to-day management, and accounting of each project, with corporate offices located in Ridgeland, MS.

Highland Park Properties, LLC represents the real estate brokerage arm of the group of companies. Recent developments include Highland Commerce Park, an upscale business park in Ridgeland, Mississippi, and Highland Data Park in Canton, Mississippi. Highland Data Park is a specialty business park strategically located across Highway 22 from Amazon Web Services and is specifically designed to cater to the rapidly growing data center market.

Over the years, Lloyd has cultivated strong loyalty among his employees and business associates by adhering to a simple philosophy: “Business is simple to me; do what you say you’re going to do and treat people as you would want to be treated.” Bob and his wife, Beth, now live in Canton, Mississippi, where they enjoy managing Cameron East Plantation and Patina Farm. “The Farm” is a 1,300-acre wildlife and farm-animal paradise that offers an immersive and engaging experience for all who enjoy the many pleasures of outdoor living
