SmartStop Asset Management Buys Self-Storage Facility in Vancouver, WA for $25MM
May 2, 2022 | JLL Capital Markets
JLL Capital Markets announced today it has closed Vancouver Self Storage, a 1,134-unit, all climate-controlled self-storage facility in the Portland-area community of Vancouver, Washington.
JLL marketed the property on behalf of the seller, an affiliate of Banner Real Estate Group. Strategic Storage Trust VI, Inc. acquired the asset.
Vancouver Self Storage was completed in February 2020 and features modern amenities users seek, including electronic access control, elevator access to upper floors, covered loading bay, 24-hour video surveillance and a retail-oriented customer service office.
Positioned on 1.14 acres at 16600 SE 18th St., Vancouver Self Storage is located within Vancouver’s highly desirable Fisher’s Landing East neighborhood 20 miles north of downtown Portland. The immediate area surrounding the property contains nearly 43% renter-occupied housing, and, as the No. 1 city for 20 to 30-year-olds per Movehub, Vancouver is one of the fastest growing cities in the U.S.
The JLL Capital Markets team representing the seller was led by Managing Directors Brian Somoza and Steve Mellon, along with Senior Director Christopher Ross and Analyst Ethan Goldberg.
“The area’s high share of manufacturing and tech jobs have stayed strong throughout COVID and are continuing to see remarkable growth and expansion,” Somoza said. “Forbes named Vancouver the No. 17 fastest-growing U.S. city, and projects like the 32-acre Waterfront Park redevelopment, which is expected to bring more than 10,000 new jobs to the area, will only increase its appeal.”
