About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Hearthfire Holdings Expands Tampa Bay Expansion with Hudson, FL Acquisition of Property

Company Targets Underserved Segment through Expansion, Proximity, and Demographic Advantage

PHILADELPHIA, PA - September 16th, 2025 - Hearthfire Holdings, an institutional-quality real estate investment firm that invests in self-storage properties, today announced that it has acquired a strategically located facility in Hudson, Florida, as part of its expanding activity within high-growth markets across the United States.

The building located at 10522 State Road 52 in Hudson has a total of 38,387 rentable square feet in 301 units, and is served by an additional 181 uncovered parking spaces. Built in 1998 and well-maintained by the owner, the complex comprises seven buildings — one of which is a two-story building with an installed elevator — and is currently 69% occupied.

“This purchase represents everything we look for in a deal: solid demographics, low competition, and significant upside potential,” says Sergio Altomare, Hearthfire Holdings CEO. “Hudson is located in the thriving Tampa Bay market, where demand for climate and non-climate storage is still higher than supply. We see significant opportunity here not only to optimize operations, but to expand and reposition this asset to drive long-term value.”

Market Opportunity

The Hudson location is situated in a prime location, with over 42,000 individuals within a 3-mile radius and a median household income of $60,000. Market supply is merely 4.95 square feet per capita, significantly below equilibrium.

Business Plan

Hearthfire will maintain the property under the CubeSmart flag and follow a value-add strategy by:

  • Rent Growth: Turning rates towards market averages through aggressive revenue management.

  • Expansion: Adding 29,800 net rentable square feet, or approximately 286 new units, leveraging the property's 9-acre site.

  • Conversion Opportunity: Utilizing and reusing existing car wash bays as extra storage units to create additional leasable space.

  • Operational Improvements: $100,000 will be used for signage and cosmetic upgrades, and CubeSmart will provide professional management to maximize performance.

With CubeSmart's national marketing platform, combined with the property's desirable location on a busy road (39,000+ vehicles per day) and proximity to multi-family properties, the property is poised to achieve its targeted occupancy rate of 92%, including expansion space, within three years.

Strategic Fit

In line with Hearthfire's overall portfolio strategy, the Hudson acquisition establishes Hearthfire’s presence in the Tampa Bay market, a top 20 U.S. market that continues to see strong institutional demand for storage assets. The property presents long-term optionality — either as a standalone high-value disposition or as part of a larger bundled portfolio disposition.

“With limited new supply, strong rent growth potential, and scalable expansion options, Hudson fits squarely within our disciplined four-pillar investment approach,” added Altomare. “It’s an exciting addition to our portfolio, and we’re confident in its ability to deliver attractive returns for our investors.”

Acknowledgments

Hearthfire Holdings would like to extend its gratitude to Aaron Sanchez & team from Skyview Advisors, Santiago Prieto from Terral, our CFO Mike Marron, and members of our acquisitions team: Jeff White, Director of Acquisitions and Portfolio Management; Brad Rafuse, Senior Acquisitions Analyst; and Benjamin Consigli, Portfolio & Acquisitions Analyst. Their contributions were instrumental in completing this acquisition.
