The Sperry Van Ness National Self Storage Team Completes the Sale of Two Self Storage Facilities for $13,049,800.

The Sperry Van Ness National Self Storage Team, an elite group of investment brokers specializing in the marketing, sale, disposition and acquisition of self storage properties throughout the U.S, has completed the sale of two self storage facilities for $13,049,800. The properties are located at 535 Route 30, East Windsor, New Jersey and 268 Gatzmere Avenue, Jamesburg, New Jersey.

Nicholas J. Malagisi, national director of self storage for Sperry Van Ness International in Williamsville, NY, teamed with John Fletcher, advisor for Sperry Van Ness/Commercial Realty in Williamsville, NY and Joseph C. French, Jr., senior advisor for Sperry Van Ness in White Plains, NY, to represent the buyer, New Jersey-based Lackland Self Storage, and the seller, a New Jersey-based limited partnership. The properties closed at a price of $82.95 per square foot net rentable.

“This was a transaction that fell out of contract twice during the recent capital market problems, but came back to life because of a motivated seller and determined buyer,” says Malagisi.

The facilities feature a combined total of 1,185 rental units and approximately 157,325 rentable square feet. At the time of sale, the properties were 82% occupied.
