Self-storage units at 8141 HWY 59 S – Foley, Alabama<\/p><\/div>\n

In an $8 million deal, Strategic Storage Trust II Inc.<\/a> (SST II), a public non-traded REIT affiliated with SmartStop Self Storage<\/a>, recently purchased a facility in the Gulf Coast city of Foley, Ala. in Baldwin County.<\/p>\n

Located at 8141 Highway 59 S., the property consists of 23 buildings situated on 10 acres and encompasses a total of approximately 1,050 units across 142,000 rentable square feet, a s well as 78 boat\/RV spaces.<\/p>\n

The facility was built in 1985 and upgraded and expanded in 1996 and 2006. It is currently 91 percent occupied and provides easy access with grade level drive-up and climate control units. Additionally, the property is located in close proximity to regional retailers and benefits from significant traffic flow and visibility.<\/p>\n

“Our No.1 goal is to complete capital improvements, including new roofs and drive areas, which will bring the facility to a new level,” Wayne Johnson, CIO for SST II, said in prepared remarks. “We will also focus on customer service, efficient management and local marketing, which will improve operational performance.”<\/p>\n

Formerly Strategic Storage Trust Inc., SmartStop is a diversified real estate company that focuses on acquisition, advisory, asset management and property-management services for self-storage properties. The company is also the sponsor, adviser and property manager for Strategic Storage Trust II, a public, non-traded REIT specializing in stabilized properties, and Strategic Storage Growth Trust, a public, non-traded REIT focusing on self-storage acquisition and development. The SST II portfolio includes 18,000 self-storage units and approximately 2 million rentable square feet of storage space, and the newly purchased asset in Baldwin County marks the REIT\u2019s 32nd<\/sup> acquisition since its inception.<\/p>\n
